I have a Xen-based Centos 5.5 virtual machine running as a server - Apache, OpenSSH, MySQL, Tomcat, Nagios and ISC Bind. It is currently running both d-bus and hal-daemon. Are these needed or can I safely turn them off?

Well... you can turn them off if nothing needs them. Kill D-Bus, and if nothing rolls over or complains then you can kill hal as well. "And the like" isn't specific enough to give any sort of an answer.

Thanks for the answer. I've updated the list of main apps which are running on the machine. I stopped them, and nothing seems to complain in `/var/log/messages` or other locations. Is there anything specific I should be looking for? – Robert Munteanu Oct 07 '10 at 07:03

Not really. Just... stuff not working as usual. The apps you list don't normally use either, so you're probably fine. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 07 '10 at 07:21
