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 .. ?
