What about service apache2 restart

Or /etc/rc.d/apache2 restart, as one would find in the BSD world (and Slackware, with a bit of modification).

This isn't to mention that it should be relatively trivial to map "restart-service $foo" to "/etc/rc.d/$foo restart" or "systemctl $foo.service restart" or whatever if one so chooses.

FreeBSD uses the service command these days too.

Good to know. In that case, "BSD Land minus FreeBSD and possibly its descendants".

Sure you could write functions or aliases to everything to give them more predictable names. But you shouldn't have to.
