Maria, that really depends on how you define "success". Initscripts usually are made to not block, otherwise the boot process might hang for an unreasonable time. So, do you use a (modified) version of the init program that needs to check for the success of the script? The init.d script _does_ return either 0 or 1 but that might not be reveal the real status of the server process. Are you trying to reuse the initscript from your code? It would probably be a better idea to use apachectl(8) for such use cases (see the manual page for return codes of this program).
