Exactly for those reasons. What we probably would like to see is "update-service" which would wrap all init services into one umbrella.
update-service --list # shows all services and init running it: runit, upstart, systemd, and sysv to start update-service <command> <service> [service] # for trying to call "command" for each of the services' init systems. Essentially, same as /sbin/service does in Fedora/RHEL 7 which was missed in Debian/Ubuntu. The difference is that this tool would also work in batch mode and also enable/disable services. -- Luis > On Aug 4, 2015, at 17:59, João M. S.
