I’m always used to service command for starting, stopping and restarting services on my Linux boxes. Bit lazy to type in /etc/ini.d/<servicename>. When I use my laptop to work with services like apache, ftp etc I had to type the complete command earlier as I had not found an alternative or didn’t take trouble to find one.
All you have got to do is install any of these packages on your Ubuntu installation.
* debian-helper-scripts
* sysvconfig
And there you go!
Now you can use
service <anything> restart
PS: just replace <anything> with the daemon which needs to be restarted.
Its simple isn’t it?
Always there is an alternative way to do things, you just got to dig in a bit.
