chkconfig in Ubuntu

I using Ubuntu 12.04.1
From Red Hat I know command chkconfig which in very easy way for set startup mode of services.
In same easy way as it is in Windows (services.msc).
Unfortunately in Ubuntu this utility don't exists...
I admitted that services which I just stopped with:

service service-name stop

don't wake up after reboot... But this is inappropriate way to manage services' startup mode comparing to most platforms.
Have we some more standard way?

you are telling that in Ubuntu chkconfig is not available right? – max – 2012-10-20T13:15:31.847

I just supposed that fact that it not installed point to incompatibility of this tool with Ubuntu. I supposed that maybe init.d archetecture of Ubuntu different from other distributions... But if you say that it is compatible, so it make me happy. Sure, I will install this tool. – Rodnower – 2012-10-20T13:35:13.770

This post at AskUbuntu is quite complete description of starting, stopping and configuring services: What's the recommended way to enable / disable services?

Hi, wecome to Superuser. Here, it's usual to summarize helpful details from an external source instead of just linking it. – Isaac Rabinovitch – 2012-10-21T18:27:01.563

Ah, OK. Thanks for clarifying. Just learning to get around in this community. – Fholst – 2012-10-21T21:58:45.743

Since Ubuntu 12.10 abandoned chkconfig, https://askubuntu.com/questions/221293/why-is-chkconfig-no-longer-available-in-ubuntu suggests the use of sysv-rc-conf as an alternative.
