I want to prevent MySQL from starting in Ubuntu 10.04
I have used
update-rc.d -f mysql remove
and confirmed that there is no link to the /etc/inid.d/mysql
script from any of the rc?.d directories.
I also ran sysv-rc-conf
and it shows me that MySQL is NOT being called as part of the rc.d
scripts.
It is still starting on boot. How do I disable it?
