Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The dbus init script could really use a 'status' action, as defined in
the LSB specification [1]. Such an action allows a system administrator
to poll the service's init script and retrieve the status (running or
not) of the daemon.
Recently, a new function, status_of_proc(), was added
to /lib/lsb/init-functions that makes this relatively trivial. I've
attached a patch that adds this functionality.
