I want to ask you if there is any way to get tomcat does not start automatically when linux starts. I know I can delete all /etc/rcx.d/S20tomcat4 links, but, there is another way? (as editing parameter start_at_boot in /etc/tomcat/default, for example).use the command "update-rc.d" to properly handle init scripts under Debian.
Could you precise in what way it can be used to achive this behaviour?Last time I tried, 'update-rc.d X remove' will by default not work if /etc/init.d/X exists. Yes, you can force it, but that does not sound right. And is not satisfactory if the links are recreated on update as Mike suggests.
Personally, I would add a 'exit' at the top of /etc/init.d/tomcat. Not sure if that will be preserved upon upgrades either, though.
