So, what it the rationale for /etc/init.d not being in the default $PATH, for root at least?


/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin
/usr/bin/spamassassin

Which should run when you run 'spamassassin'?

Ambiguity is bad.

Correct.

OTOH, if all files in /etc/init.d would be named init-<service-name> or something like that, then the ambiguity would disappear and the /etc/init.d could be added to the default $PATH.


notations such as "service init-sshd restart" would be really annoying.

If people think that we should provide some scheme of tab completion for service operations, perhaps a modded rc<initscript> link, like SUSE provides would be the best (?!?) solution.

There's really no way that there should be PATH to /etc/init.d, seriously.
