It's natural - when restarting/manipulating most services "/etc/init.d/<service> <some action>" is the natural and correct way to do it. Interestingly, I've never been tempted and always use "shorewall [safe-]restart" - I've never thought about it, and now I'm wondering why it is that I've never been tempted to use "/etc/init.d/shorewall restart" ! Possibly because I've been using Shorewall from before it was packaged for Debian ? >This is really >too bad because the Debian init script is totally silent when restart >fails.
