patch

Current service(8) shows help message when running script without arguments (e.g. service motd). At the same time rc.d scripts allow no arguments and show script usage and their commands:
# /etc/rc.d/motd
Usage: /etc/rc.d/motd [fast|force|one|quiet](start|stop|restart|rcvar|enable|disable|delete|enabled|describe|extracommands)

It's quite useful when you want to see possible arguments for some service.

That's a neat idea. I don't see any problems with this change.
