Please see the latest patch against lsb-base and comments at: * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483285 That patch defines a status_of_proc() function. The output format conforms with the exit codes and log_[success|failure]_msg() functions as defined in the LSB Reference Specification: * http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html > FWIW, I think it would be appropriate to add an option to start-stop-daemon > to support this use case.

Obviously, getting the library status_of_proc() function (or similar) into /lib/lsb/init-functions would be the logical first step. Once that occurs, then patching start-stop-daemon should be simple. Additionally, various daemons' init scripts would also need a status) section that would either call status_of_proc or perhaps start-stop-daemon --status.
