Boot-Up Manager

Boot-Up Manager is a Perl-Gtk2 application to handle runlevels configuration of any debian derivative system. With this program the user will easily start and stop boot-up scripts, without the necessity to handle thru complex links and permissions.

Boot-Up Manager has been developed and tested on Ubuntu, but as it only relies on Perl-Gtk2 libraries, it can be run on any Debian-like system.

Installation

Debian package

BUM is currently in Debian unstable/testing and in all Ubuntu's repositories. These users can just apt-get it.

apt-get install bum

Other users of debian-derivative distro's can just download the .deb package and type, from a terminal:

sudo dpkg -i bum_2.1.8-1_all.deb

Your Boot-Up Manager is placed into System->Administration menu.

Tarball

Unpack your tarball and build the program:

tar -xvzf bum-2.2.0.tar.gz

cd bum-2.2.0

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

make install

Last command must be run with root privileges. Please read the INSTALL file, for configuration options.

Requirements

Boot-Up Manager dependencies are: gksu, perl, libgtk2-perl (>=1.100-1), libglib-perl (>= 1.100-1), liblocale-gettext-perl, libgtk2-gladexml-perl
