Message system keeps bugging me with 'Named' service stopped

[bart1190]

Hi everyone,

I'm a real newbie with directadmin and linux so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have a dedicated server and DA and would like to know how to stop the service 'named' to send messages through the message system.

<<<Subject: The service 'named' on server is currently down Today at 09:21 This message has been automatically generated notifying you that the service named is currently down. >>>

I've seen the option 'Notify all admins whenever a service goes down using the messaging/ticket system' in the Administrator Settings and could disable it I suppose but I don't want to deactivate the whole messaging system. So, why don't I restart that service would you ask? Well, my hosting cy' support said :

<< "named" service is just DNS service – you will use it only in case that you will have own NS records on your domain. I assume that you use our DNS, so
this service can be stopped.>>

What can I do to stop that message from bugging me all the time? Any help would be appreciated

In the /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status file, change the line named=ON to named=OFF and restart DirectAdmin.

Thanks Jeff, but in the file editor it seems that I can only edit the following files:
exim.conf
httpd.conf
proftpd.conf
sshd_config
ip_blacklist
ip_whitelist
php.ini

You have to login with SSH to get to that file or have your hosting company do it for you.
