Why is chkconfig no longer available in Ubuntu?
Question:
I can not use chkconfig tools in Ubuntu 12.10
It's a very useful tools to configure the service to autostart or not. Why is it no longer available?
Answer:
sysv-rc-conf is an alternate option for Ubuntu.
The usage is almost the same.
To install:
sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
To configure apache2 to start on boot
sysv-rc-conf apache2 on
equivalent chkconfig command
chkconfig apache2 enable
To check runlevels apache2 is configured to start on
sysv-rc-conf --list apache2
equivalent chkconfig command
chkconfig --list apache2
