Normally *this* admin never uses the service command because:

1) it is not available on all distros or may not be installed
2) tab completion doesn't always work with the service command (depending
on the distro, I suppose)
3) tab completion always works when you specify the path to the script
and you are running a bash shell

Is the service called 'smb' or 'samba'? Is it 'network' or 'networking'?
That's why tab completion is important to me. I'm surprised that I seem
to be the only one who thinks this way.
