Bug Description
Binary package hint: sysvinit
Ubuntu Server would benefit from a "service" wrapper script.
This script is simple shorthand for running scripts in /etc/init.d.
This functionality has long been present in Red Hat based Linux systems. Although I've been a using Ubuntu exclusively for several years now, I still find myself inadvertently typing "service apache2 restart", and such.
The functionality is trivial to implement, and would really assist Ubuntu Server administrators migrating from other distributions.
