Or maybe "systemctl daemon-reload" although I'm not sure about that because I don't know much about systemd. But a quick test here shows that a "disable" command on a running service does not stop it. It's my understanding that "enable" and "disable" only control whether the service is started at boot time. Someone who knows better is welcome to confirm or correct if I am mistaken, thanks.
