Bill FYI-  
There's a plug in for Exchange that helps Exchange do the standard
one-line reply quote and fixes other things as well.
Its very useful, take a look:

Ignorance is only temporary.... (mostly, some days there isn't enough
coffee :)

Quick mini script that gives you shorter service commands:
sstatus  sshd   = service sshd status
sstart   sshd   = service sshd start
srestart sshd   = service sshd restart
sstop    sshd   = service sshd stop

#!/bin/bash

name=`basename $0`
action=${name#s}

if  [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
	echo "${action}s the named service"
	echo "Usage: $name <service name>"
	exit
fi
/sbin/service $1 $action

###################### END CUT #########################################

To Install:
Copy/paste the above text segment into a file in one of your bin
directories, I suggest /usr/local/bin.  name the file "sstart"
make sstart executable 
chmod +x sstart
then create symbolic links to sstart named srestart sstop sstatus

ln -s srestart  sstart
ln -s sstop  sstart
ln -s sstatus  sstart
