Description of problem: Is it possible to add "start" and "stop" parameters to chkconfig command? It's requested function can be to set autostarting of this service and also start it currently. Something like: if [ "$2" = "start" ]; then /sbin/chkconfig $1 on /sbin/service $1 start elif [ "$2" = "stop" ]; then /sbin/service $1 stop /sbin/chkconfig $1 off else /sbin/chkconfig "$@" fi Additional info: It is only a feature request. If it is not right to add feature requests here, please tell me where. May be it is possible to add "on" and "off" parameters to the service command, but it may be more complicated, because a programmer can define it's own rc-script paramters. Thank you.
I really think it's better to keep the two concepts separate; enabling versus starting/stopping.
