Hey folks!
I just found a small issue where service.running isn't loading properly on FreeBSD-15 .
Ex.

I'm guessing this is a tiny bug, when I have some time later I'll take a peek under the hood and see if I can put up a PR.

not a bug. freebsdservice was removed in 3008 and is meant to be moved to the community saltext. just like gentoo and alpine where it isn't an officially supported system.

see saltext-freebsd
