Cant stop FortiClient vpn from starting on startup

Question

I'm using FortiClient for VPN purposes only and don't need it running any other time. I can't get disabled from starting on startup. How to disable auto-launching of FortClient on startup?

You can do it using these commands with sudo privilege:

To shutdown FortiClient:

systemctl stop forticlient-scheduler

To disable the auto start at the next boot:

systemctl disable forticlient-scheduler

Edit: As mentioned by others, for the newer versions forticlient-scheduler is changed to forticlient

Thanks! Using forticlient 7, it's just "forticlient" :) – Quentium Dec 24 '22 at 10:31

Like @QuentiumYT mentioned, the command is now `systemctl disable forticlient` – Marcin Jóźwikowski Jan 19 '23 at 10:57

This took me quite a bit to find, after running systemctl disable forticlient the fortytraylauncher was still autostarting. I still had to remove the file /etc/xdg/autostart/Fortitray.desktop. If yours is in a different location, try finding it at one of the paths from $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart.
