And starting/stopping is one thing, but especially confusing is,
how do you disable/enable a service:
insserv -r foo
update-rc.d foo disable
systemctl disable foo
All have subtle differences in behaviour. But which one is correct ?
You could say, systemctl on systemd and update-rc.d on sysv-init, but
is that true ?
Should insserv ever be used direcly or is this a low
level tool used by the others ? The man page seems to suggest that:
"insserv is a low level tool used by update-rc.d which enables
an installed system init script"
and also:
" -r, --remove
Remove the listed scripts from all runlevels."
^^^
Yet this wiki tell me to use insserv:
https://wiki.debian.org/Daemon?highlight=%28insserv%29#Enabling_daemons ?
And insserv -r now seems to only remove the service from the default
runlevel instead all all runlevels.
Quoting the wiki:
"To disable a daemon at its default runlevels, execute ...."
^^^^^^^
If insserv -r removes the link, is there a chance will it get silently
recreated when dpkg updates or reinstalls the package ? That would be
one reason not to use it.
So yeah, it raises many questions. For me at least ;)
