Quick one, how do you chkconfig --list on debian?

[Conor Wynne]

chkconfig --list on debian?

I looked in the man page for rc-update.d but no joy.
It suggested looking in sysv-rc-conf (8), so I did and don't have a manual
page for that!

Anyone?

You probably don't have it installed then.

apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
sysv-rc-conf --list

chkconfig is generally used on Red Hat systems

Debian users tend to use:

$ ps aux | grep httpd <-- will work on all systems

to see if httpd is running for example and,

$ /etc/init.d/apache2 start

to start the httpd service assuming you are running apache2.

The distros are just different so it is better to make the switch

Hi,

Ironically, that wouldn't work on debian-based systems as the web server
process is usually called apache and runs under the user www-data ;-)

You'll also need to set things to start/stop in certain runlevels. As
someone said, update-rc.d is the debian tool for that though I must admit I
tend to just modify the symlinks which is, I guess, distro-agnostic too.
People seem to recommend using the tools. Perhaps that protects you from
mistakes better.
