Ubuntu Services Management

[Matthew Carpenter]

Has anyone found the "Right Way" to manage Ubuntu services startup?  
Obviously we can remove the link from rc2.d but I noticed the service 
configuration for Apache2 (found in /etc/default) shows a NO_START 
line.  This reminded me of the COL days where all services had a linked 
startup script in the runlevel and the config file told whether or not 
to really start.

Alternately I've played around with update-rc.d but can't seem to remove 
a service from the runlevel.  When I try I get an error about the script 
still existing in /etc/init.d.  A Duh!

TIA,
Matt
