chkconfig — View Service Runlevel Settings

chkconfig was commonly used on older Linux distributions to view and manage which services start at different runlevels. On many modern systems, systemctl has replaced it.

List service settings

chkconfig --list

Modern systemd equivalent

systemctl list-unit-files --type=service

Use chkconfig mainly when working with older Red Hat, CentOS or similar systems that still use the older service model.
