I continue to use chkconfig ... i mean, how hard is:

chkconfig --list mysql

or

chkconfig --level 2345 mysql on
chkconfig --level 016 mysql off

{most of my servers don't have GUI installed...heck, most don't even
have a monitor or keyboard :), and chkconfig works well enough that I
don't need to install a GUI, monitor, keyboard and mouse and use
redhat-config-services}
