To be sure I went looking for documentation. I found policy ยง9.3.3.2
which gives this sample code snippet:
if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
invoke-rc.d package <action>
else
/etc/init.d/package <action>
fi
The difference between this and my code is that mine tests for
[ -x /etc/init.d/package ] first, so that the absence of the
initscript doesn't yield an error. Policy's version may be
better: an initscript may be a configuration file, but if
it is absent then there is probably something very wrong.
