I installed mongodb for learning purpose, the problem I am facing is that it starts on system boot and consume resources even if not being used. I want it to be removed from system boot, how can I do this?

  • If you are using a recent version of ubuntu, you probably need to follow the instructions for systemd on how to "disable" a service: askubuntu.com/questions/19320/… ; you can also "mask" a service if you want to completely disable the service. If you "disable" a service it will not automatically start at boot time. If you "mask" a service, it will not be able to be started and will be completely disabled.

I can't test it at the moment, but I think this should work



 sudo update-rc.d mongodb disable


If this is not enough try this



 sudo update-rc.d -f mongodb remove
