[17:17] <crystal77> How does the OS know to use an upstart script? isn't it true that calling service apparmor ____ is the same as calling /etc/init.d/apparmor ____? That's where the script lives, so it's the same thing...
[17:20] <jodh_> crystal77: service(8) is a sysv facility - upstart uses start/stop/restart (see initctl(8)), but on upstart systems, service(8) is "upstart-aware" and will dtrt if you try to use it to control an upstart job.
[17:20] <crystal77> Lot of acronyms there, haha
[17:23] <jodh_> crystal77: your question is basically about how sysv services are handled and yes you can use either the /etc/init.d/$service script or the service(8) command. Upstart jobs live in /etc/init/, not /etc/init.d/.
[17:24] <crystal77> right, but what if you have both? which will it use?
[17:24] <crystal77> that's where the confusion comes from.
[17:27] <jodh_> crystal77: upstart jobs take priority.
[17:29] <jodh_> crystal77: note that this behaviour is documented in service(8).
[17:29] <crystal77> What does "dtrt" mean?
[17:29] <crystal77> and sysv = system 5?
[17:30] <jodh_> crystal77: do the right thing.
[17:30] <jodh_> crystal77: yes
[17:30] <crystal77> OH
[17:30] <crystal77> now it makes more sense...
