chkconfig for Debian/Ubuntu

[Brandon Holtsclaw]

With not seeing your bash script and a limited knowledge of  chkconfig from
migrating CentOS ( Redhat EL clone ) boxen at work to Ubuntu I'd offer for
you to think about the following things

Ubuntu doesn't use sysv-rc , we now use upstart ( yes upstart has sysv
script compatibility but afaik that is only for the transition to native
upstart jobs )

Also there is a fundamental difference in the way RH and Debian/Ubuntu
handles installed services like apache etc , basically if its installed its
meant to be started and running , thats one of the reason for splitting
packages so you can install only what you need. Also I dont know if your
script takes into account some services are enabled/disabled in
/etc/default/*

Like I said I'm not an expert on this subject, nor am asking you not to
follow through with it, just giving you something to chew on.
