Some of the init scripts will accept status as a parameter.

i.e.: /etc/init.d/httpd status

Also, you can start/stop: /etc/init.d/httpd start

This will also work on RedHat.

Run the script without a parameter to see what it supports. I don't know of a direct equivalent to /sbin/service on a RedHat box.
