Patch follows, also attached.

commit c1cdabe869a82aa9ab56a30fee78530fc38ac8e3
Author: Eitan Adler <lists at eitanadler.com>
Date:   Thu Jan 24 12:26:10 2013 -0500

    Prefer the use of service(1) to explicit invocation of /etc/rc.d
    scripts: service(1) puts things in one place and abstracts them.
Also, it's less
    typing and easier to autocomplete.

    While here modernize one script example by removing the ".sh" suffix.
