I provide my output as an example. 1) First, find out where 'service' is at. [root@netserv etc]# whereis service service: /sbin/service 2) Next we query the rpm database for the package that provided it. [root@netserv etc]# rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/service initscripts-8.11.1-1 3) Now you should be able to download the initscripts package, and reinstall it (try an upgrade, and if that won't work, do an install with the --force option) I did steps 1 and 2 so I know they'll work, but I don't give any guarantees about step 3. It should point you in the right direction at least.
