The disable command in Linux is used to disable a service. It is a powerful tool that can be used to prevent a service from starting automatically at boot and to stop a service that is currently running.

The disable command is used in the following syntax:

disable [options] service

The service is the name of the service that you want to disable.

The options can be used to specify the following:

  • -h : Print a help message.

  • -f : Force the service to be disabled.

  • -v : Be more verbose in the output of disable.

For example, the following code will disable the service apache2:

disable apache2

This code will disable the service apache2 so that it will not start automatically at boot and will not be able to start manually.
