Hi,
Another way would check inode file, examples:
my file:
Code:
$ ls -l aa1.txt 
-rw-rw-r-- 2 disedorgue disedorgue 66 janv.  3 21:21 aa1.txt

Hard link of my file:
Code:
$ ls -l aa2.txt 
-rw-rw-r-- 2 disedorgue disedorgue 66 janv.  3 21:21 aa2.txt

Symbolic link of my file:
Code:
$ ls -l aa3.txt 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 disedorgue disedorgue 7 janv.  3 21:37 aa3.txt -> aa1.txt

A copy of my file:
Code:
$ ls -l aa4.txt 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 disedorgue disedorgue 66 janv.  3 21:50 aa4.txt

inode's files:
Code:
$ ls -1i aa*.txt
956473 aa1.txt
956473 aa2.txt
941974 aa3.txt
942170 aa4.txt

here, inode of aa3.txt and aa4.txt are differents, but aa3.txt is a symbolic link, so with ls option "-L":
Code:
$ ls -L1i aa*.txt
956473 aa1.txt
956473 aa2.txt
956473 aa3.txt
942170 aa4.txt

Now, just aa4.txt is different, but this is normal because it's a copy...

Regards.

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
       directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script,  service  passes  COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and
       stop commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the  start
       command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

       If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions.	If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
       one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl.  Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO
