Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

It would be nice if the '/usr/bin/service' command had a manpage describing some basic usage examples. Currently, the output of scripts in /etc/init.d/ provide more useful output when given the --help option.

This bug was fixed in the package sysvinit - 2.86.ds1-61ubuntu6

---------------
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-61ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: install service.8 manpage to man8 rather than
    man1, LP: #275697
  * debian/patches/94_service.dpatch: make the --status-all command
    useful by filtering unimplemented 'status' actions to stderr, and
    standardize the output to something more readable, LP: #289671
