I've been doing some research about update-rc.d in conjunction with Red Hat's tool: chkconfig.
I believe update-rc.d allows you to do almost everything that chkconfig allows you to do with the exception of listing the services.
For example: chkconfig --list
will list all the runlevels with states such as on or off.
I think it would be great if update-rc.d has this functionality.
How do you guys feel about this and who would I contact to even request something like this?

Re: update-rc.d
As far as request that change, try to learn which package contains update-rc.d. You can usesprucio wrote:I've been doing some research about update-rc.d in conjunction with Red Hat's tool: chkconfig.

Code: Select all
dpkg -S `locate update-rc.d`
As far as places to more widely sugest this, i don't know, but one of Debian's mailing list may be a good place. You can see their list in http://lists.debian.org
The Debian Documentation website contains the FAQ, Installation Manual and the Release Notes for Etch. They're helpful if you want to learn more about debian!

Note that if you have 'file-rc' installed, you'll have replaced the rcN.d directories full of symlinks with just one configuration file: /etc/runlevel.conf. I vastly prefer that over the symlink mess, and then you don't need any tools, just your favourite text editor will do. I use it on all the systems I maintain. An example excerpt of my /etc/runlevel.conf:
Code: Select all
# <sort> <off-> <on-levels> <command>
01 0,1,6 - /etc/init.d/gdm
02 - S /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs
...
20 0,1,6 2,3,4,5 /etc/init.d/mailman
91 0,1,6 2,3,4,5 /etc/init.d/apache2
