How do you disable a service using the command line?

Question

How do you disable a service using the command line?

Answer

1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user

2. Run the following command:

   # whmapi1 configureservice service=MYSERVICE enabled=0 monitored=0

   Note: You will need to replace MYSERVICE with the actual service you wish to disable. Disabling a service here means stopping the service immediately and also disabling it from restarting even after reboots.
