I think it came into the RH distro around 6.2. It is basically a wrapper to save some typing for the init scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ I don't think it was ever well documented, but it was brought up here a few months after some people that are on the list had been going to some of RH's official training courses. One of the reasons this list is invaluable. fs> I've got a fresh RH72 install in which I did EVERYTHING, and there is fs> a shellscript /sbin/service, but there's no man page for it.

Just use service <servicename> <start|stop|restart|reload|status|etc> Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- You don't have to swim faster than the shark...
