Right. Just to be clear, normal Debian installs do not include
/sbin/service . The app name is too generic for a reasonable search of the
Debian package database, but I'd bet it is something peculiar to Red Hat
and a few of its close derivatives ... but not SuSE, Debian, or Slackware,
the three main distros, these days, with no roots in Red Hat.

Remember that the original question in this thread was specific to
Debian-Sid, posed by someone whose prior experience was with Slackware.
