Re: PROPOSAL: init file actions (draft 3)

I agree.  Unfortunately, they do overlap in the existing Red Hat
implementation of the "status" action (which probably extends to
distributions based on Red Hat).

Exit codes 0-3 are currently used for the "status" action.

Exit codes 0-1 are currently used for other actions.

The main question is whether we should follow existing practice (stick
with the current draft) or change it (don't overlap).

The other option is to not specify the "status" action and create a new
action to eventually replace it.
