As soon as I turn on my system and run the command :

service mysql status

It shows that the service has been activated since the PC was turned on, I want it to be off my default and when I want to, I should be able to activate it by :

service mysql start

Is this possible?

On Ubuntu 16.04 and newer use

systemctl disable mysqld.service

Notice the difference: stop to stop the running service and disable to disable autostart.

  • In Ubuntu 18.04 is with `systemctl disable mysql`, I did not test your command. Anyway, is true about the difference between _running service_ and _disable autostart_ – Manuel Jordan Nov 03 '19 at 16:29
