I don't think this is entirely accurate
chkconfig --add service (will identify services in /etc/rc.d/init.d)
chkconfig service on should actually start the service
chkconfig --level 2345 service on/off will have the service
start/stopped at the indicated runlevels
chkconfig --list service will tell you whether or not service is running
once chkconfig --add service has been run and service has been
identified, then you can start/stop/restart the service by using the
service command...
i.e. service httpd start
service httpd restart
service httpd stop
note that all of this requires and appropriate init file to be located
in /etc/rc.d/init.d and that you are running as root (or at least su -)
