ntsysv on Debian

Date: 2008-01-10 00:00:00 -0400

When someone like me comes to Debian from the RedHat world, one of the first things you start to miss is ntsysv, which is a command to control which daemons are going to start with the computer and which will remain off.

But there are also options for Debian / Ubuntu, but these are not installed by default, so you may need to install.

There are two options,

sysv-rc-conf

To install it run:

sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

And it looks like this:

ntsysv for debian

sysvconfig

To install it run:

sudo apt-get install sysvconfig

This is the first screen:

ntsysv for debian

Select the first option and you will get this, where you can enable / disable the daemons:

ntsysv for debian

And finally if you want to compare here is a screenshot of ntsysv on Fedora 7
