Precisely. What the original poster is asking for seems to be
equivalent to asking for state to be preserved in this case:
chkconfig foo off
rpm -e foo
rpm -i foo-1-1.rpm
However, it does sound to me like there should at least be a warning
in the man page that packaged services should be disabled using
'off'...
...although, having actually read it, there already *is* such a
warning:
--del name
The service is removed from chkconfig management, and
any symbolic links in /etc/rc[0-6].d which pertain to
it are removed.
Note that future package installs for this service may
run chkconfig --add, which will re-add such links. To
disable a service, run chkconfig name off.
Perhaps chkconfig should check whether it's running from a tty and ask
for confirmation. :-)
