Cute and true, but this does NOT enable the service it starts it [once] After banking my head on the wall a bit (redhat chkcfg service on) I apt- getted the sysV init stuff (yea I can manage the symlinks and priorities and I absolutely bet my last $ that debian/ubuntu has a mechanism to manage services but the lack of clear answers here says it is well hidden. Actually IMHO no other distro comes within 100km of suse yast (curses) or yast2 (GUI) sys admin tool stack James PS See how good I was to not cast an opinion on the merits of sudo :-) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Equivalently, "sudo service apache2 start" will do the same thing, is probably more intuitive for someone unfamiliar with a Unix shell to remember, and is compatible with both sysvinit and Upstart scripts. > Familiarise yourself with shell operations and things become ... easier.
