Updated firmware to latest; can't get WD-services to stop running after a reboot

[BC1111]

crontab -e
@reboot /bin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S86wdphotodbmergerd stop
@reboot /bin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S85wdmcserverd stop

and

nano /etc/rc2.d/S98user-start
/etc/rc2.d/S85wdmcserverd stop
/etc/rc2.d/S86wdphotodbmergerd stop

Both appear to be completely ignored. On the web GUI, it appears that some lower level script is launching these as I now have a perpetual:

“Content Scan
Scanning”

Twonkey scans everything fine.

No need to do the crontab stuff. Not sure when the cron jobs run on reboot. If they run before the rc2.d scripts then the processes will be restarted. The changes you made to S98user-start is sufficient.
You should verify what is happening by SSH into the MC and do a ps -eaf

It seems the scanning fixed itself in the GUI and showed “idle.”

However, after a reboot they get launched and just churns away generating thumbnails via avconv.
