I don't see what the use if of making /etc/init.d scripts do so
many different things. They are meant to be used for starting
and stopping services.

If something more powerful/flexible is needed (report status,
detailed status, uptimes, cleanups, etc.) we should think about
a proper structure for that instead of blindly adding more and
more options to what should be a simple script to start or stop
a service.
