Ubuntu – How to configure Ubuntu 14.04 to start a service automatically

The puppet agent package doesn't set itself to start at boot by default, so that you have a chance to configure it as needed before it starts doing its thing (and potentially making massive changes to the system). It warns about this when you try to start the service.

Modify /etc/default/puppet, changing START=no to START=yes, then start the service with service puppet start.

The puppetmaster package should be starting at boot automatically as soon as it's installed.

Type update-rc.d heartbeat defaults

and it will be starting automaticly after reboot

if you wanna turn it off type 'update-rc.d -f heartbeat remove`
