Remove the Remote Agent service

If you decide that you do not want the Remote Agent program to run automatically as a service, you should remove the service.

This task assumes that you are running the IoT View software in a Debian-based distribution of Linux (for example, Ubuntu, Raspbian), and that you followed the installation instructions to add the Remote Agent program as a service.

To remove the Remote Agent service that was previously added:

1. On the target station, open a new shell as a superuser. You will be prompted for your password.

   $ sudo -s

2. Stop the service.

   # service remote-agent stop

3. Call the update-rc daemon to run the service configuration script again, but this time with the remove option.

   # update-rc.d –f remote-agent remove

4. Delete the service configuration script.

   # rm /etc/init.d/remote-agent

5. Exit the shell that you opened as a superuser.

   # exit

This does not uninstall the IoT View software, so you can still run the Remote Agent program manually.
