Before we dive into how to remove the auto start in Ubuntu, lets first see how things are configured to be automatically started. As you know the start scripts are located in the
$ /etc/init.d
And to make programs autostart then there are soft links in the
$ /etc/rcX.d
There are several /etc/rc catalogs, and here follows the extract from one of mine catalog.
$ ls -al /etc/rc0.d/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-02-19 07:34 K09apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2
So one obvious option would be to directly delete all the soft links in these catalogs, but this is error prone and not recommended, but also it exists a tool to do exactly this – update-rc.d.
$ sudo update-rc.d -f tomcat6 remove
Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/tomcat6 ...
/etc/rc0.d/K08tomcat6
/etc/rc1.d/K08tomcat6
/etc/rc2.d/S92tomcat6
/etc/rc3.d/S92tomcat6
/etc/rc4.d/S92tomcat6
/etc/rc5.d/S92tomcat6
/etc/rc6.d/K08tomcat6
Now is Tomcat no longer automatically started when booting Ubuntu.
