Manage sysvinit services (/etc/init.d).

Functions

sysvinit.service

Manage the state of SysV Init (/etc/init.d) services.
Enabled: Because managing /etc/rc.d/X files is a mess, only certain Linux distributions support enabling/disabling services:
  • Ubuntu/Debian (update-rc.d)
  • Fedora/RHEL (chkconfig)
  • Gentoo (rc-update)
For other distributions and more granular service control, see the sysvinit.enable operation.

sysvinit.enable

Manually enable /etc/init.d scripts by creating /etc/rcX.d/Y links.
