Besides the tools already mentioned, you may also familiarize yourself
with /etc/init.d/ and the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d/. A very easy way to
disable a service is to rename "@S10someservice" to "@K10someservice".
For control of running services, I always use "/etc/init.d/service start|
stop|force-reload", but there is also invoke-rc.d, which might even be
preferred. YMMV.
Have fun!
