To turn the httpd service on at levels 3,4 and 5:

# /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 httpd on

To check:

# /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd
httpd           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

To turn off:

# /sbin/chkconfig httpd off

To check:

# /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd
httpd           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

To turn off level 3 only:

# /sbin/chkconfig --level 3  httpd off

To check:

# /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd
httpd           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:on    5:on    6:off
