Pretty much every distro has the init scripts in the same place AFAIK.
What is different is the position of the startup and shutdown scripts
which call /etc/init.d. Sometimes these are in /etc/rcX.d and sometimes
in etc/rc.d/rcX.d where X=initmode. Usually they are just all links to
etc/init.d any way with a different name.

What i was unaware of until you pointed it out recently was that not all
distros use the "service" command to simplify the
start/stop/restart/status calls. That little pearl was another "aha"
moment for me. Cheers
