How do I install chkconfig on Ubuntu?

alias chkconfig=sysv-rc-conf
chkconfig --list

syntax

sysv-rc-conf command line usage:  

        sysv-rc-conf --list [service name]
        sysv-rc-conf [--level <runlevels>] <service name> <on|off>

In Ubuntu /etc/init.d has been replaced by /usr/lib/systemd. Scripts can still be started and stoped by 'service'. But the primary command is now 'systemctl'. The chkconfig command was left behind, and now you do this with systemctl.

So instead of:

chkconfig enable apache2

You should look for the service name, and then enable it

systemctl status apache2
systemctl enable apache2.service

Systemd has become more friendly about figuring out if you have a systemd script, or an /etc/init.d script, and doing the right thing.

The command chkconfig is no longer available in Ubuntu.The equivalent command to chkconfig is update-rc.d.This command nearly supports all the new versions of ubuntu.

The similar commands are

update-rc.d <service> defaults

update-rc.d <service> start 20 3 4 5

update-rc.d -f <service>  remove

sysv-rc-conf is an alternate option for Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

sysv-rc-conf --list xxxx
