I use redhat and debian extensively in various environments, it's nice to know where things are. I'm afraid that: ls /sbin/service on a debian box returns: ls: /sbin/service: No such file or directory Indeed, until recently, one could only find init.d on redhat under /etc/rc.d/init.d while I'm not privy to redhat's policies, it does seem that they've moved to LSB standardised locations for more and more crucial stuff. /sbin/service will like remain a symlink in redhat for some time to come but it makes sense, if someone is just learning the system, to use the location that's no accepted as "standard".
