How one can make some linux service like mysql, apache start automatically on server reboot?

There are several ways, here is Mysqld service example:

will just add the service:

chkconfig --add mysqld

will add + enable service to autostart (make the service enabled on levels 2345 - default & working config on my linux) that is what we need

chkconfig mysqld on
It can be done also manually entering levels, but why? :

chkconfig --level 2345 mysqld on

After the command, try to run following command to ensure service was added/enabled (on):

chkconfig --list mysqld

The result - enabled mysqld autostart should be:

chkconfig --list mysqld
mysqld 0 off 1 off 2 on 3 on 4 on 5 on 6 off

On Debian/Ubuntu

At Debian based os, mysql should be able to launch using: update-rc.d mysqld defaults ?
