Chkconfig Wrapper for Debian
I've long been a fan of DebianLinux, it was my first OS love and I've
participated in the Debian community for many years. When I was first
forced to use RedhatLinux it was generally a fairly painful experience
with one exception; chkconfig is so much nicer to use then
update-rc.d.
We are starting to experiment with Debian at work, and as part of that
?BenHall, one my cohorts, has written a simple PerlLanguage wrapper
for update-rc.d which allows you to use chkconfig syntax to manipulate
Debian's start/stop scripts. The only difference from the Redhat
version is that without any arguments it will list all of the services
currently configured (which is the way the original SgiIrix version
works).
I give you Ben's very own, chkconfig.pl.
