as part of a crash course in teaching some folks scripting this last
week, i grabbed a random FC6 script and walked through it with them.
i chose /sbin/service since it's a nice example of several scripting
features in a single place, but that script does have some strange
code in it.
first, as an exercise for the reader, what is so amusing about
*this* snippet of script:
case "${1}" in
--help | -h | --h* )
also, based on the structure of the main argument processing loop,
you can invoke service in some weird ways:
$ service httpd --version
service ver. 0.91
where you can see that the first argument of service name "httpd" is
superseded by "--version". is that by design? just curious.
