Who are you running the command as? Root should be the only person
that can run the service command. If you su to root and it doesn't
work,
try to use su - instead. Or just type /sbin/service. If it still
says command
not found, do a which service and see what it says.

That's ok, i get the same way. Leonard no well function beer without.
But /sbin should be in roots path. If it isn't, you might want to put
it there.

Okay, someone
Remember that su - will alter your environment to include /sbin and
/usr/sbin, while su will not.

I did not know that. In all the years I've been doing this, I've never
heard that. A day is not wasted when you learn something new. Thanks
for the tidbit.
A slightly expanded explanation:
su only changes permissions of the current process
su - does a full login.

Add /sbin and /usr/sbin to your path. If you are using
bash for your shell add this to your ~/.bash_profile:
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin ; export PATH
Alternatively you can just type the full path to the commands
you need (eg /sbin/service).

True, I forgot about that too, but that's because I don't su to
root. I use sudo. :)
