Disable nginx, but keep it installed

Question

I have nginx installed on CentOS and now I need it to be disabled (including on reboot), but keep it installed for further use.

Should I only remove /etc/init.d/nginx file? Or is there more graceful way to do that?

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop

sudo chkconfig nginx off

then confirm with

chkconfig --list | grep nginx

no need to pipe to grep, chkconfig --list <daemon> will show you just that one line – Zypher♦ Jul 15 '11 at 1:24
