I've never understood why, but "invoke-rc.d" and "update-rc.d" are meant for maintainer scripts not users. > Know playing with several distributions, some use "service", "sysctl", > "systemctl", and some of them are mentionned for managing services in > Debian. "service" is a wrapper around "invoke-rc.d". There's an RFE for it to include a wrapper around "update-rc.d enable|disable" but I haven't checked its status for a while. "service" can also handle, in Debian 8, native systemd services. "sysctl" isn't a service manager. "systemctl" is systemd's service manager but it handles sysvinit init scripts when they don't have a systemd equivalent, AFAIK by handing over to update-rc.d/invoke-rc.d. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
