I'm disabling an FTP server (pureftp) and need a way to just keep it from starting up rather than completely purging it - never know when I might want to make temporary use of it. The All About Linux blog over at Blogspot had a good set of instructions:
To disable
update-rc.d -f pure-ftpd-mysql remove
To re-enable:
update-rc.d pure-ftpd-mysql defaults
