How do you disable a service with systemd?

[Stephen Dowdy]

$ROOT_CMD ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/lightdm.service?
(mask it out in the system override directory)

(not quite same as disabling).

I think minimally, you need to:

$ROOT_CMD /bin/rm -f
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/lightdm.service (or whatever
it's called)

(presuming that's your default systemd target)
