Bug#832111: Please add a fake "status" function to init script (like in procps)

[Raphaël Halimi <raphael.halimi@gmail.com>]

Package: sysfsutils
Version: 2.1.0+repack-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

sysfsutils' init script lacks a "status" function. This disturbs some
third-party software (in my case, saltstack) which interpret it as an
error and think that the "service" is not running.

procps implemented a fake "status" function in its init script to
address this; please do the same for sysfsutils.

Attached is a very small patch doing just that.

Regards,
