Likely, you are thinking of the Slackware Package Management tool called
'pkgtool'

What you recall can be accessed in "pkgtool". However, it is just a
frontend for "chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.$SERVICE".

Take a closer look at pkgtool if you can't live without the dialog based
configuration, but better get used to "chmod". Some services need to
enabled/disabled handish.

BTW, your question is well explained at slackware.com/book.

That's a little harsh isn't it?

You can chmod the rc file in /etc/rc.d (chmod +x rc.http to start apache
on runtime).

You can edit rc.local to make a program start at boot, or edit the rc.X
file to make a program start at a certain runlevel.

You've already gotten your question answered, so this is pretty
much a gratuitous comment. I don't think I've actually done a full
9.1 install yet, so I actually don't remember seeing these options
(they weren't in 8.1's pkgtool). That's a pretty nice thing for
pkgtool to do on installation.

Of course, I still prefer chmod in /etc/rc.d/

No, that was the exact answer to the OP's question.

Yes. But it's about as terse and incomplete as the question was.
