NAME ntsysv - simple interface for configuring runlevels

SYNOPSIS ntsysv [—back] [—level <levels>]

DESCRIPTION

ntsysv is a simple interface for configuring runlevel services which
are also configurable through chkconfig. By default, it configures
the current runlevel.  If the user would like to configure other
runlevels, those levels can be specified on the command line by
listing the levels after --levels, with- out any spaces.  For
example, the option --levels 016 edits runlevels 0, 1, and 6.
