hi everyone
After get helps by read-only from LQ for years, I registered in LQ as an user finally.
This is my first thread in LQ. Nice to meet you!

I have been using Linux from 2006 on Ubuntu 6.10, and used Ubuntu/Mint/OpenSUSE for years, but this is my first to try Slackware in 2022. I really like slackware now.

Now I have a question might need someone help.
Here is a screenshot in this URL http://ceicer.org/slacktips_ntpd/
There are two screenshots in this URL, and I am interested in the second screenshot which consist by green and blue color majorly. It's showing a way to configure starting up service by a ncurses graphic tool. I remember I saw it during the slackware installation, but I don't know how can I call it out or what's the command I should run to call it out.
I knew how to enable a service by 'chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.xxx', but I just wonder if I can do it in another way.

Could anyone help me?

That specific one is called timeconfig.. And there are others, like netconfig etc.

Edit1. Oops, my bad, misread that.. Not sure exactly what that specific one is called.

Edit2. Ok, since I answered so sloppy I felt obliged to look into it.. It's not possible for that particular one.. You can check it yourself as well, using pkgtool.. There is a section in there called "setup", showing the sections used during install, and one of them is "services", but apparently this cannot be run after install. Only selected ones like netconfig, timeconfig, liloconfig, eliliconfig etc can be (found in your PATH)

I'm sure there is a way to get around this though. You'd most likely only have to make the one called "services" available on your system

Are you referring to the blue and green screenshot where it says just above It:
If so, pkgtool, as has already been mentioned, however it only brings up a default set of services, any custom services has to be done manually.
