Since Ubuntu uses upstart, the correct interface to manage services is with the "service" command, not by calling init.d scripts directly.

dovecot in Trusty is managed by an upstart script. This is defined in /etc/init/dovecot.conf. That /etc/init.d/dovecot doesn't exist is by design, so I'm marking this bug as Invalid. If you disagree, please explain and change the bug status back to New.

Changed in dovecot (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Invalid

You're perfectly right. For whatever reason, autocompletion for dovecot upstart isn't working. So I overlooked it.

Thanks for your hint.
