I know about the update-rc.d SERVICE OPTIONS command to add and remove services from startup, but how do I use it to get a list of all the services that are currently configured to start at startup?

Is there some other way to get this list?

See the attached link.

The command is

service --status-all

Thanks, the service --status-all did it, though I still have to find a legend to determine exactly what those symbols mean. – Lance Roberts Aug 20 '11 at 1:02
@Lance: there is a bug in managing option --status-all, see this AU question: askubuntu.com/questions/55992/running-services – enzotib Aug 20 '11 at 10:47

You could use BUM.

This looks nice, but I'm too new with Ubuntu to know how to install this on my virtual server, that I PuTTY into (or if it's even possible). – Lance Roberts Aug 20 '11 at 1:04
Do you have a graphical environment? – desgua Aug 20 '11 at 1:07
No, just a terminal session. – Lance Roberts Aug 20 '11 at 1:12
Well, BUM is a graphical tool, so the command you've mentioned above seems to fit better yours needs. – desgua Aug 20 '11 at 1:18
