Service Overview on Devuan

On Linux systems with Systemd services can be managed (listed, enabled, disabled, ...) with the systemctl command. Older RedHat-based systems have the chkconfig command for the same purpose. Is there something similar for systems that still use System V init, like Devuan? I know I can use update-rc.d for enabling/disabling services, but I'm not aware of a convenient way of listing the status of all services short of digging through /etc/rc?.d.

Devuan (older Debian-based systems as well) has a command sysv-rc-conf, which provides both a commandline and an ncurses-based interface for service management. Simply install the package with the same name:

apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

List services:

sysv-rc-conf --list

Enable a service in runlevels 2, 3 and 5 (replace on with off to disable):

sysv-rc-conf --level 235 myservice on

Start with interactive ncurses interface:

sysv-rc-conf
