Hi, I can't seem to find how to start, stop, turn on, and turn off deamons in debian. in FC is was:
# service ...... start/stop
# chkconfig ....... on/off

But what is it in debian?

Cheers, Buck

The easiest way:
/etc/init.d/service_name start/stop/restart

The debian cli tools:
man invoke-rc.d
man update-rc.d

A gui tool in testing/unstable:
apt-get install bum

and there's also the cli tool sysv-rc-conf that let you turn off services in all rcX, even rc.S, which bum doesn't let you. Just apt-get it
