sysvinit alternative to systemd

[kd4e]

I need to do something similar to this - without systemd:

systemd --> systemctl start trunk-recorder.service

I'm thinking that this is the sysvinit version "service frobozz start" - based on this:

Is that correct, please?

I don't have my MX machine in front of me at the moment, but I'm not sure MX implements the service command for managing init scripts for services.
In sysV-style init, everything is just a shell script, so

Code: Select all

systemctl start trunk-recorder.service 

is more like

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/trunk-recorder start

under the hood. That's all the service command does for distros that use it as a wrapper.
(This assumes whatever package set up trunk-recorder dropped an init script in the default location)

sudo service trunk-recorder start

Thanks!

As soon as I get the OS and files loaded on the just-set-up Dell server I'll give it a try and report back.
