I would use an array of arrays to declare the values---one array for
each `service' and then just straightforwardly iterate through them
along the lines suggested by Tet et al.  Array support in bash is IMO
better than any of the other common shells (including zsh).

No, of course I can't remember the syntax :-)!  I'll look it up if you
get stuck, though.
