NAME
       service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
       service --status-all
       service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
       service  runs  a  System V init script in as predictable environment as
       possible, removing most environment variables and with current  working
       directory set to /.
       The  SCRIPT  parameter  specifies  a  System  V init script, located in
       /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The supported values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked  script,  service  passes  COMMAND  and  OPTIONS it to the init
       script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the  start  and
       stop  commands.   As  a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the
       script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with  the  start
       command.
       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with
       the status command.
       If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use  legacy
       actions.   If  there  is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
       one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected
       to the systemctl.  Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.
FILES
       /etc/init.d
              The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
       LANG, TERM
