Question

I am running Ubuntu 13 10  and I m pretty new to Linux  I tried      sudo apt-get install chkconfig      Package chkconfig is not available  but is referred to by another package    This may mean that the package is missing  has been obsoleted  or   is only available from another source      E  Package  chkconfig  has no installation candidate   I manually downloaded the package and unzipped it  The resulting folder has a file called   chkconfig install   But how do I run this  I tried this  but it didn t work     sudo chkconfig install

As mentioned by  jerry you can add services with the below command  update-rc d  lt service gt  defaults update-rc d  lt service gt  start 20 3 4 5 update-rc d -f  lt service gt   remove  To validate them check the above commands you can check   etc rc  d  directory where service start with  quot k quot  means it will not execute during the boot and service start with  quot S quot  will start during the boot    for runlevel symlinks  ls  etc rc  d   In the below screenshot you can see apache2 starting in runlevel2 S02apache2  and stopping in runlevel1 K01apache2    You can also check the service status with the below command where  quot   quot  means service is in running state  quot - quot  is in stopped  service --status-all   OR install sysv-rc-conf utility  apt-get install sysv-rc-conf example sysv-rc-conf --level 2345 apach22 on man sysv-rc-conf

In Ubuntu  etc init d has been replaced by  usr lib systemd  Scripts can still be started and stoped by  service   But the primary command is now  systemctl   The chkconfig command was left behind  and now you do this with systemctl   So instead of   chkconfig enable apache2   You should look for the service name  and then enable it  systemctl status apache2 systemctl enable apache2 service   Systemd has become more friendly about figuring out if you have a systemd script  or an  etc init d script  and doing the right thing

But how do I run this  I tried typing  sudo chkconfig install which doesn t work    I m not sure where you got this package or what it contains  A url of download would be helpful  Without being able to look at the contents of chkconfig install  I m surprised to find a unix tool like chkconfig to be bundled in a zip archive  maybe it is still yet to be uncompressed  a tar gz    but maybe it is a shell script   I should suggest editing it and seeing what you are executing     sh chkconfig install or   chkconfig install   which might work    but my suggestion would be to learn to use update-rc d as the other answers have suggested but do not speak directly to the question   which is pretty hard to answer without being able to look at the data yourself
