The chkconfig is used to update and query the runlevel information for system services. It comes from “chkconfig-x.x.x” package. Using chkconfig we can find any service’s startup configuration is it enabled or disbled during the system boot, which is helpful to set the services during the system boot.

| $ chkconfig –list nfs |
3. To add a service script into the runlevel
| $ chkconfig –add /etc/init.d/myservice.sh |
4. To delete a service script from the runlevels
| $ chkconfig –del /etc/init.d/myservice.sh |
