What, if any, difference is there between using 'service <something> restart' 
and /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<something> restart'?

I have this mindboggling situation where using 'service tac_plus restart' 
leads to a service that is running but not working properly, whereas 
'/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tac_plus restart' gives me a working service.
