Services manager to choose which services start at boot time

Alfio is a service that lets you choose which services start at boot time by using profiles.

For example, if you have a laptop, you might be interested in creating a profile for when you have access to an internet connection and one for when you don’t. You also might need less services when you boot your laptop on battery, then decide to save power. In some situation you might like to connect through DHCP while in others you need a static IP. Or you might want to test on your machine how different services interact with each other without messing with your safe configuration.

Read the man page man alfio to learn how to use it.
