At the last SlashDot Meetup, I asked if there was a way to stop a
daemon from running without un-installing it. I was just reading
through the Debian Weekly News and found this:
Enabling Daemons. Noah Meyerhans noted that Debian currently
doesn't support situations when a daemon package is installed and
the daemon isn't started upon startup. Noah wondered why Debian
doesn't support the BSDish /etc/rc.conf system which contains a
variable for each daemon. (yanked from:
http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2002/38/ )
Use this:
update-rc.d -f [daemon] remove
This will remove it from startup, but you will need to execute the
above command each time you upgrade the specific software package.
The base script /etc/init.d/[daemon] will still exist if you wish to
start it manually.
