How to disable a service from startup in Ubuntu?

Answer:

For example, to turn off apache2 from startup, use

sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove

When the system restart, apache2 will not be running anymore.

But, if you want to add them back later, you can use

sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 defaults
