I had a good link for you, but lost it...
You have to start getting rid of the appropriate resource control files.
When a Linux system starts, the init process cycles through the files in
/etc/rc.d to start services. On a regular boot up (not going into an X
login screen), init will run all the S* scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc0.d, rc1.d,
rc2.d, and rc3.d (if you've configured your system to boot up into an X
login, then you're going all the way upto rc5.d). These all startup daemons
or apps, and are usually symbolic links to files in /etc/rc.d/init.d.
To disable something from ever coming back, remove the appropriate S* and K*
scripts (K* is for killing the app, and S* is for starting). If you just
want to turn it off right now, then just run
'#/etc/rd.c/init.d/what_ever_app stop'. They're usually just shell scripts
so you can read 'em with cat, more, vi, etc.
