Chkconfig is a utility to update and query runlevel information for system services. Chkconfig manipulates the numerous symbolic links in /etc/init.d/, to relieve system administrators of some of the drudgery of manually editing the symbolic links.
In Debian, there are several tools with similar functionality, but users coming from other Linux distributions will find the tools in this package more familiar.
Go to Terminal and open it and type the command “chkconfig' press enter.
john@john:~$ chkconfig

Hi,
This tool is familliar for the personn who used to run redhat flavored dsitro.
There is a tool more debian-centric :
apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
Let’s you configure the the service and the rnulevel in semi graphic way.
Unfortunately, both chkconfig and sysv-rc-conf are a little outdated for ubuntu these days. More and more startup services have been converted to upstart jobs in the folder /etc/init. These tools do not always give accurate results for upstart jobs and may not allow you to enable and disable jobs as you would expect.
