This could be useful, but I think your question underscores an important concept many people fail to grasp for too long: Linux is Linux is Linux! Even though tools exist on different distributions (chkconfig for RH/Mandriva, update-rc.d on Debian(isms), yast on SUSE), they all do mostly the same dang thing: maintain symbolic links between files in /etc/init.d (or /etc/rc.d/init.d) and the run level directories init scripts process for the respective run level. If you learn about the fundamental activity these tools are doing, the tools themselves are just convenience. Knowing what's going on behind the scenes, you can pretty much manage anything on any of the distributions. - -=Fozz - -- Doran L.
