What Others Think

Or, if you're using systemd: systemctl stop rpcbind.service sendmail.service In newer versions of systemd, you can drop the .service systemctl stop rpcbind sendmail

Thanks for sharing, your post is important for everyone. But I think I love to listen to music and write music. I totally focused on this but sometimes I think my life-related music. Thanks, Gustavo Woltmann
