start sevices after boot complete in linux mint

Question

I am using linux mint 18.3 Sylvia. My system is taking a long time to boot, as I found a lot of services are running at start up. What I am asking is there any way I could start those services after boot process is completed? Because I dont need those sevices (docker, postgres, mariadb, etc.) as the very first second of my desktop loads.

So, in short:

Is it possible to start service after boot process is completed? If yes, how?

Thanks.

You should disable not needed services using systemctl disable service_name and when you need once from disabled start it manually running systemctl start service_name Remember to run command with sudo or on root account.

this is a very bad and not useful answer. most of those services that in the startup, are useful and necessary. – Hossein Vatani Jun 12 '18 at 13:57

I solved this issue by setting the time load of not necessary service after booting with below commands:

systemctl editor docker.service

you need change docker.service which each service name you would.

then add below lines:

# docker.service time configuration override
[Timer]
OnBootSec=1min
OnUnitActiveSec=1d
AcuracySec=1h
RandomizedDelaySec=30min

save and exit.
