I wish to use the pigpio C library which requires that the daemon is not running. My application will be in an embedded standalone system and I cannot therefore kill the daemon.

  • What did you do to have it autostart in the first place? That is important to know. Cron (as described here) https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=103752 – Ghanima Dec 11 '16 at 11:49

It depends on how it was started in the first place:

  1. If it was started as a service on Raspbian use the following command:

    sudo systemctl disable pigpiod

  2. Assuming you followed this description to add pigpiod to the crontab:

    @reboot              /usr/local/bin/pigpiod

    simply use sudo crontab -e again to remove this line and have it not started on reboot.
