To enable a service on start-up, assuming /etc/init.d/&lt;service&gt; file exists use:
<pre>
update-rc.d &lt;service_name&gt; defaults
</pre>

To disable a service from start-up use:
<pre>
update-rc.d &lt;service_name&gt; remove
</pre>

A ncurses based tool named '<tt>rcconf</tt>' can be used to get interface equivalent to '<tt>setup</tt>' for configuring start-up applications.
