Start a service on boot Ubuntu

Jul23

Here are the commands needed to set a service to start on boot.

Tested on Ubuntu Server 14.04 but should work just fine on older versions as well.

 

root@t605:/# update-rc.d ntp enable
update-rc.d: warning:  start runlevel arguments (none) do not match ntp Default-Start values (2 3 4 5)

                -n: not really
                -f: force

The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
