Chkconfig in Debian
Started using SuSe in class, which has chkconfig to dynamically add and remove services from init. Debian has, update-rc.d, which isn't as nice as SuSe's chkconfig.

Question, is there an alternative to update-rc.d for Debian? Excluding manual methods (permission changing, editing the script itself, removal of the script, etc ...).

If not, I suspect such a thing will be part of the reworking of the boot process for Lenny (or Lenny+1; I track Sid, I can't remember where all this work is going to land). Among other things, LSB headers will be used to provide dependency based init.

Thanks for the direction [info]simbab

It looks like I'm in for the regular trip to /etc/init.d . chkconfig is so superior.

LSB is interesting, thanks for pointing it out to me.

You may want to try rcconf then.
