I found out that service command which is not present in debian and make quite the thame job is handled by bash_completion.
I looked into the script an I've seen that there's a function almost ready to use : service() . I changed a few lines and it seem to work, with all /etc/init.d script as first parameter and with {start|stop|reload|...} in second parameter when available. I hope you will use it :-) Here is the patch : http://madcat227.free.fr/debian/forum/completion/bash_completion.diff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
