In the good old days, all daemons resided in /etc/init.d with symbolic links in /etc/init.d/rc[35].d. That made stopping, starting and checking any daemon very simple, just invoking it with "stop", "start" and "status", respectively.
Today, since only very few daemons survive in /etc/init.d and /etc/init.d/rc[35].d, I have no other means to control the major part of them than by using the Services Manager in YaST.
Is there no more any simplified way of controlling daemons, analogous to that described above?
Have a nice Pentecost day, hopefully less cold than in Germany (at the moment 9.7° in Hannover, incredible!).

If you are referring to the init service that must not be named, have a look at this and see if it helps https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-man...

You do not need to use YaST. You can manage them from the command line.
The old "rcSERVICE_NAME start|stop|restart" should work, as long as someone remembered to create the link. If it doesn't, you can create it yourself - see later.
The standard way is:
systemctl status SERVICE_NAME[TAB]
The tab is to complete the name, usually "service" but sometimes "target". Or nothing. Another syntax, with an actual case:
service status syslog
which is simple enough and easier to remember. Try:
service syslog
it gives the familiar help.
Creating the link would be, for instance:
ln -s /sbin/service /sbin/rcauditd
