Hi ,

I had answer to his email, but it didn't make it to the mailing list.

Hi,

I am sure you will find this one useful too (and maybe that was your
first idea ) :

Description: A text menu based utility for configuring init script links
 It provides extensive explanations at each step.
 Some features supported by sysvconfig are:
  - Enable or disable services.
  - Edit init links.
  - Restore from backup file if you make a mistake.
  - Menu or command line interface.
  - View all services, each with its status and a brief description.
 Sysvconfig also installs a 'service' script much like that found on
 Red Hat systems.
