I think any one of these packages can do what you want, some more user-friendly than others: chkconfig - system tool to enable or disable system services rcconf - Debian Runlevel configuration tool sysv-rc-conf - SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal sysvconfig - A text menu based utility for configuring init script links sysv-rc - System-V-like runlevel change mechanism These packages contain GUI tools for managing services: bum - graphical runlevel editor ksysv - KDE SysV-style init configuration editor gnome-system-tools - Cross-platform configuration utilities for GNOME kde-guidance - collection of KDE system administration tools I know, too many choices. I use sysv-rc-conf to set up which services are started by default, and start and stop services manually (e.g. #/etc/init.d/service stop) or using invoke-rc.d (from the sysv-rc package -- some of the above packages contain a 'services' command which does the same thing).
