How to stop RabbitMQ starting on Ubuntu bootup?

Question

I have installed RabbitMQ on Ubuntu, but I want to only start it when needed manually, not have it load automatically upon boot.

Did you use the Ubuntu installer from here? http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html — Michael Dillon, Jul 10 '12 at 22:09

With Ubuntu 15.10 (using systemd), I used systemctl:

sudo systemctl disable rabbitmq-server
