In Fedora I can do

$ chkconfig --list | grep ssh



Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native

      systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native

      systemd configuration.



sshd            0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

and it shows all run levels. Then I can use

chkconfig sshd on

or

chkconfig sshd off

How can I do the same in my Ubuntu 11.04? + How do i mention in which runlevel it should start?

Even if Ubuntu uses Upstart, not all services have been migrated to it yet and hence the old System-V style init scripts (files in /etc/init.d/.)

According to the manual page of chkconfig, off and on are used for stopping or starting services, not disabling them.

To start the SSH daemon (which is named ssh), run: sudo start ssh

Similarly, to stop it: sudo stop ssh

To list the status of all services, use:
(N.B. output is lengthy and goes to stderr)

sudo service --status-all 2>&1 | more

These commands work for both the Upstart scripts as well as for the services in /etc/init.d/.
