How to permanently disable an Upstart job in RHEL 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • What is the proper way to disable a Upstart service?

  • Some rpms ship Upstart job configuration files (/etc/init/*.conf) which are not tagged in the rpm as %config (so modifications get lost on update). How can such jobs be disabled?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
