I'm in the process of writing a front-end for update-rc.d with
behavior mimicking the chkconfig(8) utility from Red Hat and IRIX. As a
Red Hat refugee, I know I will personally find this a useful tool, and
Googling reveals that "Where can I find chkconfig for Ubuntu?" is
something of a FAQ.
I suspect this script and its man page might belong in sysv-rc
along with update-rc.d. If so, I'd like to give both to the
sysv-rc maintainers. If it belongs elsewhere, I'd appreciate
a redirect to the apropriate package maintainers.
(The script is written in pure bash; I expect it to top out at
less than 200 lines. The man page is significantly improved
over the Red Hat version.)
