Great! I really hope we can get it into policy and make sure all init.d scripts have it. For that to happen lintian need to push it too. > I'm leaning toward 0/OK, but I'm not set on it. I implemented the status action in some of of the init.d scripts in the initscripts package, and then I had problems with the ones you mention here and left them for later. I am not quite sure how to handle this, but lean towards 0/OK too. Or perhaps add code to detect if the 'start' action is running and report off it it isn't. > Side question: Should any message be printed in this case? "Real" > init scripts typically print something like "Foo is running.". Probably not, but perhaps if the start action is running.
