I just did an install of CentOS 5 on one of my machines. However, when I try to use the 'service' command (such as 'service httpd start') I get an error that the service command is not found.
Why would that be? Where does this command come from? I can launch the services just fine using the respective /etc/init.d/ entries.

Sorry for the broken webmailer...
Are you performing these actions as root? A user that does not have root access cannot start services. You will either need to su to root or sudo the action.

How did you change to root? If you used "su", rather than "su -", you will not have root's path ingormation and will need to type the full path: "/sbin/service...". It would be better to do "su -", which gives you a full rott environment.
