service: add support for legacy custom actions

2012-06-26T19:56:32+00:00

This adds support for legacy initscript actions such as
  service iptables save

Packages wishing to provide legacy actions should install programs (probably
scripts, but could be binaries) named
  /usr/libexec/initscripts/legacy-actions//

It should be emphasized that this feature is meant to be used only in packages
where compatibility of custom actions with previous releases is desired.
Adding of entirely new actions is discouraged. Useful tools should be
shipped by upstreams as programs in /usr/bin, not in distro-specific hacks.

Echo to stderr in a bit more standard fashion. (#832220)

Don't write to stderr that's not there (or a socket, or whatever, #746263)

do not check for the existence of a systemd unit before redirecting

2011-09-26T14:57:36+00:00

It is wrong to look only in /lib/systemd/system. systemd can handle
units in several other directories as well.
The check is needless. Simply redirect everything that's not a SysV
service and let systemctl report an error if it's invalid.

Accept --ignore-dependencies, --skip-redirect in /sbin/service.

Be somewhat noisy when we're frobbing a native systemd service.

2010-08-23T20:10:12+00:00

If a systemd service exists, use systemctl to frob it.

Use $() instead of `` for process expansion.
