Sysvconfig: A text menu based utility for configuring init script links

[John Hasler <john@dhh.gt.org>]

You might want to (cautiously) test sysvconfig, available in the
Experimental archive:

Package: sysvconfig
Architecture: all
Depends:  dialog
Description: A text menu based utility for configuring init script links
 It provides extensive explanations at each step.
 Some features supported by sysvconfig are:
  - Enable or disable services.
  - Edit init links.
  - Restore from backup file if you make a mistake.
  - Menu or command line interface.
  - View all services, each with its status and a brief description.
  - Uses update-rc.d for changes.
  - Nothing is written out until the use selects 'Finish'.

Note that as this program messes with the init links it could render your
system unbootable.

If you use 'sysvconfig --debug directory' (undocumented) the program will
look in 'directory' for init.d and the rc* directories.  However, you will
not be able to write anything out unless you have a patched version of
update-rc.d in /usr/local/bin/test-update-rc.d .
