Public bug reported: the cc_salt_minion.py module uses the service command to start salt- minion after installation. However this command is not guaranteed to exist on all distributions.
In Gentoo, openrc stopped providing this binary not so long ago [1] but using systemd on Gentoo does not provide this either. In debian 9 the bin is provided by init-system-helpers [2] which is an essential package meaning removing it most likely breaks your system. I wanted to suggest to use distro class init_cmd but even this feels a bit limited as it requires duplication for distributions that support more than one init system. Would it make sense to create a class hierarchy to support the classical init systems out there (openrc, debian-style init, systemd) and allow automatic detection of the actual init being used ?
