service command

It would be nice to have a service command/function to be able to start daemons with
service samba start

im little lazy to write entire command line

Ehrm.. no offense, but how the heck is that so much different from typing /etc/rc.d/samba start with TAB completion? Heck, if you're so keen on this, write a little shell script calling /etc/rc.d/$1 with parameter $2, call it "service", and there you have it. Barely a two-liner.

the point is that i have a lot of RH machines and im used to type
service ......

just that, a habbit

miki, u have luck that i'm just _nearly_ as lazy as u are :

write these 2 lines into a file called "service", then copy it to /usr/bin/ and don't forget to chmod +x /usr/bin/service....

#!/bin/sh

exec /etc/rc.d/$1 $2

this will be something like a redhat compatibility script *gg*

it is just what i needed
should be in next distro!

i don't think it will be included because it's a think everyone can include by his/herself, and i don't think that arch will have much of those i'm-too-lazy-to-type-some-more-lines scripts

but if u have some wishes, just post and someone will write u such a script...
