In any case, I think you're on a good track. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled my hair out from typing "/etc/rc.d/foo start" at the
command line and having nothing at all happen as a response.
The one that continually messes me up is disabling nagios in
/etc/rc.conf during maintance and then doing "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios
stop" and forgetting that it doen't do anything so I get individual
notices about all 352 cluster nodes going down. :(

semantically foo_enable="YES" could permit "stop" action because I don't
see any logical contradiction in stopping a service that is not enabled...

just my 2 cents :)

Be that as it may, fixing the system to provide feedback to interactive users is a good thing.
