/etc/init.d/skeleton is mentioned in section 9.3.5 as an example to base init
scripts on. As you may know, it suppresses the calls to log_daemon_msg
("Starting $DESC: $NAME") and log_end_msg ("." or " failed!") during start and
stop if $VERBOSE = "no".
Most init scripts do not follow this example, I believe. Section 9.4 makes no
mention of $VERBOSE.
What's the best practice/consensus? Should policy be amended? Should
/etc/init.d/skeleton be fixed?
