chkconfig script for debian

[Leon]

This script works like chkconfig, but uses update-rc.d in the background for adding and removing system services on a Debian system. I hope some users like this!

 

 

 

#!/bin/sh 
# Description: This script works like chkconfig, but uses update-rc.d in

add() {
       if [[ `ls -a /etc/init.d/ | grep -e "^$SERVICE$"` ]]
       then
               echo -n "Adding service: $SERVICE"
               echo
               /usr/sbin/update-rc.d $SERVICE defaults
       else
               echo -n "File /etc/init.d/$SERVICE not found."
               echo
       fi
}

delete() {
       if [[ `ls -a /etc/init.d/ | grep -e "^$SERVICE$"` ]]
       then
               echo -n "Removing service: $SERVICE"
               echo
               /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f $SERVICE remove
       else
               echo -n "Error removing: service does not exist."
               echo
       fi
}

# Exactly two parameters required
if [[ $# != 2 ]]
then
       echo -n "Usage: $0 {--add|--del} name_of_the_service"
       echo
       exit 1
fi

# Check the command line for actions
case "$1" in
       "--add")
               add
               ;;
       "--del")
               delete
               ;;
       *)
               echo -n "Usage: $0 {--add|--del} name_of_the_service"
               echo
               exit 1
esac

exit 0

esac exit 0
