You might want to (cautiously) test sysvconfig, available in the Experimental archive:
Package: sysvconfig Architecture: all Depends: dialog Description: A text menu based utility for configuring init script links It provides extensive explanations at each step. Some features supported by sysvconfig are: - Enable or disable services. - Edit init links. - Restore from backup file if you make a mistake. - Menu or command line interface. - View all services, each with its status and a brief description. - Uses update-rc.d for changes. - Nothing is written out until the use selects 'Finish'. Note that as this program messes with the init links it could render your system unbootable. If you use 'sysvconfig --debug directory' (undocumented) the program will look in 'directory' for init.d and the rc* directories. However, you will not be able to write anything out unless you have a patched version of update-rc.d in /usr/local/bin/test-update-rc.d . -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
