Suppose I want to boot with a particular init script disabled. In
Debian, I could use update-rc.d to remove the rc.d links, then later use
update-rc.d again to bring them back. If I did that, I'd have to note
the priority and the run-levels that were originally used (Does "rcconf"
remember them?).
I could edit the init script to exit right away, but that would be a hack.
Is there a third way?
There are multiple possibilities but they vary from distribution to
distribution. Using a Red Hat (or derivative) distribution you can use
the chkconfig command for this. There are also various GUI run level
editors available if you prefer to avoid the command line.
A search on 'run level editor' should help you considerably.
