Your command is more explicit, but mine should work and is simpler (but
it is still untested).
According to chkconfig(8) on my f7 system:
By default, the on and off options affect only runlevels 2, 3, 4, and
5, while reset and resetpriorities affects all of the runlevels. The
--level option may be used to specify which runlevels are affected.
Although unstated in chkconfig(8), the reasons that other levels are
not affected (by default) is explained in init(8):
Runlevels 0, 1, and 6 are reserved. Runlevel 0 is used to halt the sys-
tem, runlevel 6 is used to reboot the system, and runlevel 1 is used to
get the system down into single user mode.
P.S. for readers who are not familiar with old school UNIX traditions:
"chkconfig(8)" means the chkconfig manpage in section 8 of the manual.
To see it, type
man 8 chkconfig
Section 8 is about administration and privileged commands. Since no
other section has a chkconfig, you could have used the command
man chkconfig
