This works pretty well but is considered a hard way of doing so.

Otherwise sophisticatedly, you may also wish to consider chkconfig utility. This is just a command line utility to add/delete an init script at an specified runlevel. Look google for its command usage. It's a pretty simple one to use too.

Since there are so many links i m confused which one to unlink.
Can you please guide me?

Code:

# cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/
[rc5.d]# ls -ltr
