Bad luck. It's /etc/init.d/apache status, though /etc/rc.d/apache status will also work. If with "others" you mean Red Hat, it's much more likely that RH are the ones which are too stupid to read the linux FSF. The difference in name (httpd, apache) is probably to be expected between distributions. However, you'd be much smarter to just use rc<servicename>, in this case rcapache status, on a SuSE system.
