equivalent of chkconfig

[João M. S. Silva]

Yes, it is:

$ dpkg -l|grep network-manager
$ dpkg -l|grep modemmanager
ii  modemmanager                        1.0.0-2ubuntu1 
     amd64        D-Bus service for managing modems

Thanks Oli, that sounds reasonable. I tried it but:

$ service modemmanager status
modemmanager stop/waiting

$ dmesg |grep -i modemmanager
[    2.888050] init: modemmanager main process ended, respawning
[    2.923251] init: modemmanager main process ended, respawning
(...)
[    3.731722] init: modemmanager respawning too fast, stopped

$ cat modemmanager.override
# modemmanager - modem manager
