If you want it shut down, run
/etc/init.d/servicename stop
To permanently disably it, remove the start links from the default
runlevel (see /etc/rc2.d/). Debian Sarge has some programs that can
help you do that, for example sysv-rc-conf. See if that package is
available in Ubuntu.

debian also has a nice tool called 'update-rc.d' for managing services.

update-rc.d was mainly invented to allow the package management to take
care of creating or removing runlevel links upon package installation
or removal (usually through the postinst or prerm scripts). You /can/
use it, but it has several drawbacks. The most important one is that if
you remove the links for a service using update-rc.d and later update
the package, the links will automatically be recreated.
