service(8) is part of the rc scripts, of which there are more variants than there are of init(8). It makes little sense to include it in toybox when the only init we have is oneit; even when init gets out of pending, implementing service in toybox would be hard-coding a requirement about how the rc scripts work. We certainly couldn't implement the rc scripts in toybox, since they are scripts. In case you're wondering: the number in parentheses is the man section; (1)=user commands, (2)=syscalls, (3)=functions/libraries, (8)=system administration tools.
