I wrote two tiny patches to have some kind of smart completion, see:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8481
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8491

The idea is to do:
# /etc/rc.d/networkmanager [TAB]

and have a completion with the possible actions. IIRC it also works
doing:

# service [TAB] [TAB]

the first TAB completes with the available services and the second with
the action.

Cheers,
