When I run ubuntu, the tomcat server I have installed runs automatically and I have to switch it off manually. I want tomcat not to start automatically on boot. How to disable tomcat's startup on boot?

-> first: find out the name of the service. for example: tomcat or tomcat6
Than: try this:
sudo update-rc.d tomcat remove
You can use the following tool:
sudo sysv-rc-conf
If this doesn't work, the next will work
1.) find out your current runlevel
runlevel
2.) (re)move the startscript from the runlevel directory /etc/rcX.d (wher X is the number of the current runlevel) Example:
mv /etc/rc5.d/S90tomcat /etc/rc5.d/disable.S90tomcat
The script starts with S and an Number (for example S90tomcat), which means: S=stratscript for tomcat, Start at position 90.
Simply delete or move that script.
3.) Finally also remove the stop-Script (Kill Script) which looks like /etc/rcX.d/Kyytomcat where yy is an number between 0-99 and X is the runlevel, you still know.
mv /etc/rc5.d/K01tomcat /etc/rc5.d/disable.K01tomcat
Look at this http://www.unixtutorial.org/2009/01/disable-service-startup-in-ubuntu/

Note: that the default tomcat service name is "tomcat7" in ubuntu 14. If your tomcat is tomcat6 you will need to do "sudo update-rc.d tomcat6 disable" else you will get error – Dung Jun 10 '16 at 16:12

I installed tomcat using this tutorial and following solution worked for me.
Edit tomcat.conf
sudo vim /etc/init/tomcat.conf
I changed start on runlevel value to
start on runlevel []
Stop autostart
sudo initctl stop tomcat

When the Ubuntu OS reboots, the Apache Tomcat Server will start automatically. This program setting can be changed by entering one of the following two commands.
sudo systemctl enable tomcat9
OR
sudo systemctl disable tomcat9
