You can install chkconfig but I doubt that it will be useful (or even
accurate!).

Debian and Ubuntu have done away with CentOS-style runlevels in that
runlevels 2-5 are all the same.

Ubuntu's upstart has even rid itself of runlevels for many/most of the
upstart jobs; many/most of the upstart conf files do not even have a
runlevel invocation.

You can find out which services are running/waiting/stopped with
initctl list
for all services
and
initctl status <upstartjob>
for a specific job.
