-PowerDNS is normally controlled via a SysV-style init.d script, often

+On Linux, PowerDNS is controlled by a systemd service called ``pdns.service``.
+The service definition file should be installed by the binary package, and can also be found in the tarball (``pdns.service.in`` template file).
 
-Furthermore, PowerDNS can be run on the foreground for testing or in

+On non-Linux systems, a SysV-style init script can be used, and should be supplied by the operating system packages.
