I don't mind documenting a 'status' target, so long as it is optional, but I see no reason why we should change from our own scheme to this LSB one. Note that the LSB exit codes are directly in conflict with our own - they require the init script _fail_ if the program is removed but not purged, while we require it silently do nothing and return success. This proposal would therefore introduce bugs in most existing init scripts. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
