Which deamons can safely be run in background?
Title sums up my question pretty well. I just want to know which daemons I can safely prefix with @ to possibly speed up boot time. Here is my daemons line from my rc.conf file...
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hplip cups dbus hal fam alsa cpudyn openntpd sensors keytouch lastfmsubmitd lastmp)Thanks for any replies and sorry if this has been discussed before.

crond alsa cpudyn sensors keytouch
can be backgrounded. There might be other ones too.

You should be able to also background cups and openntpd, but I don't know about the others...basically anything should be fair game to background as long as you've loaded all their dependencies first.

Additionally, netfs is only useful if you have network shares set in fstab, hal starts dbus anyway and fam isn't needed by KDE (I'm not sure about GNOME) anymore. Although my selection of daemons is a bit simpler, they're all backgrounded and I can't think about any problems coming from it.
