Have you considered the effects of local or future policy-rc.d scripts?
This could make commands like "service foo start" not do anything,
because the policy for that runlevel forbade it. But I think the
expectation of a "service" command is it always stops or starts a
service as the admin commands, not taking such a runlevel policy into
account. Then again, I have never used the command on Red Hat, maybe I'm
wrong.
