I'd go so far as to say you should ALWAYS use the service (or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/$SERVICENAME) commands to do start/stop/reload/etc...
the service script might be setting up environment variables, and/or
running the commands with a specific set of parameters, which you might
miss starting it manually
