Use Text based GUI Runlevel configuration tool to add or remove services

In Fedora, we can use chkconfig command to set the run level of the serveice. However, it is missing in Ubuntu.

rcconf is Debian runlevel configuration tool. Rcconf allows you to control which services are started when the system boots up or reboots. It displays a menu of all the services which could be started at boot. The ones that are configured to do so are marked and you can toggle individual services on and off. If rcconf is not installed use apt-get command:
$ sudo apt-get install rcconf


Now run rcconf and just follow on screen instructions:
$ sudo rcconf
