No, I don't want to remove the package, I just want stop it from running
at startup. chkconfig is redhat's nifty keen command line sysvinit link
maintainer, mainly there for pre/post install scripts to maintain all
that runlevel symlink crap. Its human usable too, chkconfig --list in
RH7 even makes the columns line up nicely now, no more using awk to do
that, neat...
Debian has something similar, suppose I could rip apart a daemon package
and see...
I'm also told Irix (Or was it solaris?) has a tool of the same name that
does the same thing...
