Yes. In summary, the following parameters should be supported, with
those marked with * being optional (exit 3 if unsupported):
- start start the service
- stop stop the service
- restart stop and restart the service if the service is already
running, otherwise start the service
- try-restart* restart the service if the service is already running
- reload* cause the configuration of the service to be reloaded
without actually stopping and restarting the service
- force-reload cause the configuration to be reloaded if the service
supports this, otherwise restart the service if it is
running
- status print the current status of the service
Many init scripts alias force-reload to restart, which is actually
wrong, since "restart" is equal to "stop" followed by "start" while
try-restart only does that sequence if the service is already running.
Force-reload is equal to try-restart if the service doesn't support
"reload".
