-> first: find out the name of the service. for example: tomcat or tomcat6
Than: try this:
You can use the following tool:

If this doesn’t work, the next will work
1.) find out your current runlevel
2.) (re)move the startscript from the runlevel directory
/etc/rcX.d (wher X is the number of the current runlevel) Example:
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.
