With sshd you need to use service sshd stop/start. It seems inconsistent.
It is. As another poster commented, welcome to linux! Sometimes, if you read through the init script in/etc/init.d/, you can see how the actual service is called. That won't help with the inconsistency, but it might help in not having to remember which commands support the "start" argument and which do not.
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
