How to disable webmin start on boot on Ubuntu?

Solution 1
You can disable Webmin starting at boot from the Webmin interface, in the Webmin Configuration module. At the bottom of the module window is the option to set when Webmin starts. You can invoke Webmin to start via command-line sudo service webmin start
when configured not to start at boot.
Solution 2
You can either manually edit the scripts but the best way is to run
sudo update-rc.d webmin enable
and all the required entries will be made cleanly - less risk of breakage of essential startup scripts.
and the reverse to disable
sudo update-rc.d webmin disable
