Bug Description

The 'restart <service>' command does not work on default 16.04 installation.

If there is no upstart, the restart command should say the equivalent systemd command and/or should it execute.

"reset" has nothing to do with services, upstart, or systemd. It resets the terminal settings and contents and clears it, see manpage.

If you mean "restart", then yes, this is an upstart specific command. Please use "service" as an init neutral way to control services.

The bug should fixed.

Should the upstart specific commands be installed in the default 16.04 installation?

Because upstart is still being used for the session startup. We are working on the transition there.
