Under RH, to type "service sensord restart" will kill and restart sensord.
I can't find an equivalent command. Is there one? Otherwise, how to I kill and
restart a service? Can I find a list of running services, the same as
"service -s"?

Hi Rob,
on debian there are a few redhatism that have not been created: this is
one of them. here are a few:
1) rh has runlevels with special meanings, debian makes 2-5 the same
with 2 being the default with no special network/x/etc meaning
These distinctions (at least 3 and 5) are actually useful when debugging
problems with your X config. It just saves a step on some activity.
On debian, I have to kill gdm, fiddle, and restart it.
2) no 'service ....'instead we use /etc/init.d/service start/stop/restart
and AFAICT no 'status'
Running both systems, status is another feature that's very useful.
3) no tool like the runlevel/services editor in rh. the tools are there
but they dont do it the rh way
What are the "official" debian tools for doing this stuff? I use wajig for
starting and stopping services manually. It's very useful, though hardly a
"standard" tool.
Having default startup numbers in the init scripts is handy at times as well.
I usually find redhat's stuff easier to configure. On the other hand, the
debian package repository is second to none, which is why I run it.
