    I believe all the startup scripts are in /etc/init.d
     
    Instead of removing them try just removing the execute attribute from the
    file.
     
    chmod -x <filename>
     
    See how that goes.

    Subject: startup options

    what file controls what programs are started up at boot time. I installed
    some stuff, but now don't want them starting up every time it boots. I would
    like to remove them for the time being but be able to add them again later
    if I want them.
