So you type it anyway instead of copying and pasting. And I always
type (i.e. don't copy and paste either) "/etc/init.d/$service". Since
we're both typing it, it shouldn't matter anyway with regards to that.

And I remember that there are also distributions which use scripts
called "Restart" (yes, with capital "R") and "Stop" and "Start" for
that. Not sure where I saw that. Maybe SuSE?
But IMHO the consistency over most distributions is still to use
/etc/init.d/ -- plus invoke-rc.d on debianesk distributions.
Anyway, I'd like to hear Javier's opinion on that.
