Details

I extended support for operation on services:
now with

$> service [TAB]
915resolution foldingathome lircmd privoxy
acpid gdm mdadm rsyncd
[...]
you get the list of the services, and with

$> service networkmanager [TAB]
restart sleep start stop wake

you get the operation you can do on that service

to make this fully functional there should be a function like:

service() { /etc/rc.d/$1 $2 }
or
service() { /usr/bin/sudo /etc/rc.d/$1 $2 }

defined somewhere, but I'm not sure we want this in "bash_completion".

Adding completion for a non-existent script/function is probably not a good idea. How about this - add a FR for initscripts to add a small "service" script to the mix that does what you outlined above. Assuming enough people like it, and it gets added, we can add this here? Sound good?

Done. Look at  FS#8491 .

Ok, in the interim, would it be possible for you to provide completion for "/etc/rc.d/foo <tab>" ? I'm sure there's a way to do that only, which would be a nice compromise.

here it is, add:

complete -F _service $(for i in /etc/rc.d/*; do echo $i}; done)

at the end of the archlinux-service file.
