Well, chkconfig isn't a linux thing: replicate 1% uname -a IRIX replicate 6.5 05190003 IP22 replicate 2% which chkconfig /sbin/chkconfig replicate 3% And its actually very useful IMHO. Thats what rc.conf is for though, right? enable_pkg_apache="YES" enable_pkg_qmail="YES" enable_pkg_mysql="YES" and so on .. ?
