'service command option' is essentially the same as:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/command option
so it runs the standard startup/shutdown script.
'command option'
is going to run the first instance of 'command' it finds in your
execution search $PATH, and then it is up to that command to interpret
the option. In other words there is no way to generalize about this
case.
