Re: chkconfig for Debian/Ubuntu

["Brandon Holtsclaw"]

With not seeing your bash script and a limited knowledge of  chkconfig from migrating CentOS ( Redhat EL clone ) boxen at work to Ubuntu I'd offer for you to think about the following things

Ubuntu doesn't use sysv-rc , we now use upstart ( yes upstart has sysv script compatibility but afaik that is only for the transition to native upstart jobs )

Also there is a fundamental difference in the way RH and Debian/Ubuntu handles installed services like apache etc , basically if its installed its meant to be started and running , thats one of the reason for splitting packages so you can install only what you need. Also I dont know if your script takes into account some services are enabled/disabled in /etc/default/* 

Like I said I'm not an expert on this subject, nor am asking you not to follow through with it, just giving you something to chew on.

I'm in the process of writing a front-end for update-rc.d with
behavior mimicking the chkconfig(8) utility from Red Hat and IRIX.  As a
Red Hat refugee, I know I will personally find this a useful tool, and
Googling reveals that "Where can I find chkconfig for Ubuntu?" is
something of a FAQ.

I suspect this script and its man page might belong in sysv-rc
along with update-rc.d.  If so, I'd like to give both to the
sysv-rc maintainers.  If it belongs elsewhere, I'd appreciate
a redirect to the apropriate package maintainers.

(The script is written in pure bash; I expect it to top out at
less than 200 lines.  The man page is significantly improved
over the Red Hat version.)
