Like others have already suggested, `update-rc.d' is equivalent to
`chkconfig'. Also, in Woody (Stable) I found `rcconf' which is somewhat
like `ntsysv'.
I myself migrated from Red Hat, so I will let you know what I do.
I do not like unnecessary processes/daemons running, so to have
them disabled completely irrespective of runlevel, I do:
update-rc.d -f <name> remove
where <name> is found in /etc/init.d/.
If you want something to run only in runlevel 2 and 3, you do:
update-rc.d <name> start 33 2 3 .
..followed by
update-rc.d <name> stop 40 0 4 5 6 .
NOTE: The "." at the end are important.
Also, you should run the command with the "-n" flag for a dry-run
to see what it will actually do, like:
update-rc.d -n <name> defaults
...will show you the steps that will happen without doing them.
BTW, the above example is analogous to:
chkconfig <name> on
