chkconfig command replacement on Ubuntu
From time to time, somebody asks me how come there is no chkconfig command on Ubuntu. Mostly they are Red Hat users. Well, since Ubuntu 12.04, you don`t have chkconfig.
Official Red Hat website explain usage of this chkconfig command with following:
The chkconfig utility is a command-line tool that allows you to specify in which runlevel to start a selected service, as well as to list all available services along with their current setting
There are several replacements, but I choose sysv-rc-config, which is provides you simple interface, in order to enables you user friendly management tool for runlevel manipulation.
Install by using following command:
sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
On the end of installation process all you have to do is to start tool:
sudo sysv-rc-conf
Text interface will be opened as you can see on slide 1.
Slide 1.
Now you are able to manipulate with run levels.
Please, be free to share other alternatives to chkconfig.
