This is a wholesale filch of IRIX chkconfig command for Linux and,
indeed, any other operating system.
Linux, mostly, executes daemons on the basis of their availability,
making reconfiguration of various aspects of the system less simple
and, indeed, more fragile. Much editing of /etc/rc.d/rc.* is needed
for such simple tasks as selecting which daemons and/or capabilities
to enable.
chkconfig allows the sysadmin to select what daemons and/or capabilities
are to be enabled in the next reboot fairly simply.
There is no install target in the Makefile, simply move the linked
chkconfig to /sbin or /usr/sbin, depending on your preference. I have
it in /sbin, since I control module loading with it.
The code is still rather dirty, especially the configuration listing.
It will be cleaned up somewhat in the next version. I hope :-).
