Is there some overview which Linux distribution comes with which (default) init system and uses which tool for starting/stopping services?Is there some distribution independent way to start/stop/query a service?/etc/init.d/xyz start does only work with system-v init systemsservice xyz start is not available on every distribution (which distribution does (not) have this?)case switching depending on available commands seems to be the only reliable wayBackground: We need to write an installer for different Linux distribution which needs to restart/query services. Calling the service tool would be cool for that, but I'm not sure which distributions support this.
