How to take Octoprint OFF of autoload

I have loaded Octoprint onto my raspbian RASBERRY PI and want to take it out of auto load on boot up.

I followe the directions on the github but dont really knows enough to change it back to manual loading from the automatic load on startup.

I have raspberry pi 3 (newest you can get) everything is up to date as per last sunday (7-1-2-18). running raspian and loaded octoprint as per instructions on foosel's github page.

Wanted to be able to use either octoprint or Repetier. so don't want either to autoload.

What version of Raspbian?

If it's stretch based, try sudo systemctl disable octoprint.

with the program os-release i get:

pi@octopi1:/etc $ cat os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

if that helps. I am a newb to the linux environment so I have to look up how to do everything. although when younger i was a VG programmer in the 8086 days.

sudo systemctl disable octoprint

says:
sudo: systemct1: command not found

that's a lowercase L, not a one.

well that did something.

octoprint.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable octoprint

I think that's correct. You can do systemctl status octoprint to check.

octoprint.service - LSB: OctoPrint daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/octoprint; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

is what i get and that looks offline to me.

and i'm assuming this is the way to start octoprint back up:

sudo service octoprint restart

yeah, seems right.

Or just start (instead of restart).

That did it and thanks for both of your help!
