<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the replies. I read the man page on update-rc.d and came across this:<br>
---<br>
Please note that this program was designed for use in package mainâ<br>
tainer scripts and, accordingly, has only the very limited functionalâ<br>
ity required by such scripts. System administrators are not encouraged<br>
to use update-rc.d to manage runlevels. They should edit the links<br>
directly or use runlevel editors such as sysv-rc-conf and bum instead.<br>

<br>
It sounds like 'sudo update-rc.d SERVICE remove -f' should do the same thing as removing them manually though.<br>
