I have installed the Adobe Reader and it works fine. But whenever I start Ubuntu there will also start a process called acroread. This process probably enhances the speed if you open the Adobe Reader. But to me it is a waste of recourses.

I know I could kill that process, but does anyone know an elegant way to prohibit this process to start?

Thank you for your support!

Warning: This could not be a daemon, but an application started in your "startup applications" so look there first! (via the dash)

If not, to remove any daemon from the start-up process do:

sudo update-rc.d -f daemon-name remove

I don't have the Acroread daemon, so to get the exact name do:

ls /etc/init.d

and look for the name there...
