Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo init system : was [Re: [gentoo-user]service parameter passing?]

I see now. I guess I grew up with the /etc/... method and got used to it and used it even on RH - RH was the first I've seen the shortcut on. Several others have posted some scripts you could use.

This is equivalent of a stop then a start. Gentoo's init
service is the same as all the others - the directories
may be different but they all do /etc/somedir/servicename
start/stop/restart/... .

What I miss in Gentoo is the simple format for services like found in Redhat and many others, ie:

service servicename stop/start/restart

It eliminates needing to know where the service directory is or including it every time.

service httpd stop

is a lot easier than any other incarnation and make any system easier to admin.
