One thing I miss with Arch are init-script shortcuts for starting

IMHO you just have to use tab completion and you will not type much more. I don't like the symlink approach of suse...

I promote the use of tab completion as it helps with reinforcing the directory structure in my head. In addition too many soft links makes me feel as though I am chasing ghosts around my computer. Tab completion and good old fashion elbow grease is a sure and concise way of making it around the directory structure.

I'm not sure what shell everyone is using, but the tab completion in extra/zsh + extra/grml-zsh-config makes it easy as: sudo /e/r/sam <tab> start which completes on my system to sudo /etc/rc.d/samba start
