This looks like a RedHat startup script.
The line
. /etc/rc.d/functions
sources a bunch of bash functions, one of which is 'action'.
action prints the first argument, and runs the rest of the arguments,
checking the return result to print the green or red [OK] or [FAILED]
in the RedHat boot sequence.
Cheers,
Colin
