Red Hat/Debian/Gentoo Startup Commands
Since there are so many similarities and differences between Linux distributions, I put together this quick summary of the differences between the startup commands on a few of the popular distros (Red Hat, Debian/Ubuntu, and Gentoo):
The commands:
Red Hat: chkconfig
Debian: update-rc.d
Gentoo: rc-update
Start on bootup using the defaults:
chkconfig –add foobar
chkconfig foobar on
–
update-rc.d foobar defaults
–
rc-update [...]
