Fair enough. Note that this is a very casual check, and that
I have very few init.d script in my sid chroot. Sorry for all
the errors. (* denote woody packages)
Wrong message:
*apmd.
Wrong restart behavior when not running:
atd cron klogd syslogd *ntpd
Wrong exit status when stopped but not running
inetd lpd nfs-common portmap ssh *pdnsd *exim *gpm *lprng
Wrong exit status when started but already running
*pdnsd *lprng
My wish is that all init.d scripts behave the same in all situation,
including 0 or 1 exit status, handling of corner case, messages, etc...
We are far from that currently.
I realize that 'Wrong exit status when stopped but not running' can be
controversial, but if you enoxerate these packages, you need to bu the
others...
