After a bit more consideration the status could report if the motd has
been updated in the past x minutes if the ENABLE flag is set.
Would this be inline with the Ubuntu policy?

Hi Andrew,
The policy is actually defined by the LSB:
*
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
Quoting:
If the status action is requested, the init script will return the following
exit status codes.
0 program is running or service

The status code that is being added to the init.d script is somewhat
misleading. mythtv-status doesn't actually have a daemon to run...

Good point. I looked a bit closer at the script itself, and I see now
that the mythtv-status perl script does not operate in daemon mode.
I'm marking invalid and retracting my patch.
Thanks,
