Why can't I stop services

[OzTechGeek]

I have beating my head against a wall and googling for the better part of the day and am so frustrated at something that should be so simple but for some reason I cannot stop the below services with a "services-start" script. I just want my Asus routers to be a AP nothing else, I don't want anything else service or feature wise running but it just will not co-operate. eveytime I even use "kill" watchdog just restarts it.

Trying to disable:
mDNSNetMonitor
miniupnpc
ots

NVRAM Settings:
wan0_upnp_enable=0
wan1_upnp_enable=0
wan_upnp_enable=0
upnp_pinhole_enable=0
upnp_enable=0

Thoughts?

miniupnpc and mDNSNetMonitor are not services, they are clients that get run by the networkmap service.

Is there a way to stop the "clients" from running? Can the executable be renamed?

Networkmap needs to run these to determine what's on the network. You cannot prevent that, and there's no reason to want to either.

I respectfully disagree, like I said, if I've set the router into AP mode and disabled UPnP and mDNSNetMonitor (Bonjour) even in nvram why is it still scanning my network for these devices, when I have explicitly disabled them?

Because as I said, these have nothing to do with UPNP and Bonjour, they are clients, not services. Note that this is miniupnpc, not miniupnpd (c is a client, d is the UPNP daemon that gets enabled/disabled by the webui setting) and mDNSNetMonitor, not mDNSNResponder. They are used by the networkmap service, which runs in AP mode as it's what is listing you the client list on the webui.
