(Note: serious discussion, please take systemd trolling elsewhere). While having the pleasure of working with some proprietary software recently, I was asked to run `service foo restart`, and was surprised to see: foobar ~ # service foo restart * service: service `foo' does not exist
Since `systemctl restart foo` works, I had a workaround anyway. Talking with Whubbs about it, I found that our service script only supports OpenRC, via rc-service. I looked around, and from what I can tell, most distros ship a service tool for all supported init systems. I.e., Debian/Ubuntu: supports sysvinit and systemd via init-system-helpers CentOS/Fedora: provides support for systemd via initscripts OpenSUSE: has a working service binary for systemd (according to #suse) I'd like to propose moving `service` out of OpenRC and into a separate package that OpenRC and systemd can both use. It's very possible that we could simply package/use another distro's scripts (I haven't evaluated that though). -- -Austin Austin English Gentoo Developer GPG: 00B3 2957 B94B F3E1
