How to disable services via iControlREST

Hello,

 

I'm trying to figure out how to disable a service via iControlREST. I am able to stop/start services, but not disable/remove.

 

Example:

 

curl -u USER -d '{"command": "disable", "name": "named"}' -H "Content-TYpe: application/json"

 

{"code":501,"message":"0 is not supported ","errorStack":[]}

 

start/stop/restart all work.

 

I suspect I need something other than "command" for that? Or maybe I'm supposed to put the resource-id in the URL, however it looks like that URL accepts ID and the docs don't show how to get the resource-id.

 

Thanks

    I don't think tmsh has 

    disable
    command (iControl REST is just a wrapper for tmsh), or am I missing something? 
    delete
    is a valid command but I don't think you can use it for 
    sys service
    .

    root@(ltm1310)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) delete sys service ntpd
Syntax Error: "service" unexpected argument

    See pp. 57-65 of iControl® REST API User Guide Version 13.1 for the list of 

    commands
    you can use.
