          systemctl disable servicename.



          Running systemctl disable removes the symlink to the service in /etc/systemd/system/*.



          From now on, that service won't start on boot anymore.

            There is also a stronger version of the disable command, which is mask. From the manual:




            mask UNIT…



            Mask one or more units, as specified on the command line. This will link these unit files to /dev/null, making it impossible to start
            them. This is a stronger version of disable, since it prohibits all
            kinds of activation of the unit, including enablement and manual
            activation. Use this option with care. This honors the --runtime
            option to only mask temporarily until the next reboot of the system.
            The --now option may be used to ensure that the units are also
            stopped. This command expects valid unit names only, it does not
            accept unit file paths.




            While systemctl disable unit would prevent a unit from starting on the next boot, you could still start the unit manually. systemctl mask unit prevents the unit from being started either automatically or manually. It does so by overriding the unit file with a symlink to /dev/null.



            Finally, the command to reverse the effects of mask is unmask: systemctl unmask unit.
