* You'll get an error message at boot time (to avoid it you need to patch all the scripts);
* You are breaking the logical chain stated in debian-policy concerning runlevel configuration.
If the logic of a debian-like system boot up sequence is not very clear and familiar to you, you should not play with symlinks, permissions, etc. In order to avoid messing up your system, Boot-Up Manager will automate all of your configuration in a nice and clean graphical interface.
Boot-Up Manager is a Perl-Gtk2 application to handle runlevels configuration of any debian derivative system. With this program the user will easily start and stop boot-up scripts, without the necessity to handle thru complex links and permissions.
Boot-Up Manager has been developed and tested on Ubuntu, but as it only relies on Perl-Gtk2 libraries, it can be run on any Debian-like system.
Install Boot-Up Manager in ubuntu
Open the terminal and run the following command
sudo apt-get install bum

Is this fully compatible with upstart?
[Reply]
Last time i checked (9.10) it wasn’t compatible with upstart and it messed up some things i could only restore manually by comparison with another machine.
So unless it’s compatible with upstart i wouldn’t recommend it.
