[Bug 1658917] Re: Not possible to stop a service after deleting /etc/init/service.conf file

[Steve Langasek]

This is a bug in the sysvinit-utils package that provides the 'service'
command, not in upstart.  You can still stop the service by running
'stop myservice' instead of 'service myservice stop'.

** Project changed: upstart => sysvinit (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
