In that case, please try, in .bashrc :

service () { 
    /etc/init.d/$1 $2
}

Then "service networking restart" should perform
"/etc/init.d/networking restart" for you.
(And command completion works for shell functions too. :-))

Since command completion is working for you, it looks like you're using
a privileged account, rather than sudo, so obviously the shell function
goes into that .bashrc. (Alternatively, whack a sudo in the function, if
you're religious.)
