I would like to see whether we can create some progress around this bug. Over the past few years I've been bugging packages to add the "status" action to their init scripts. We currently have about 55% of packages supporting this, including most of the most popular packages. We also have a lintian tag that informs about missing support. The status_of_proc function in /lib/lsb/init-functions now provides a de factor reference implementation of the status action.
I have written this up in more detail in the wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/StatusSupport So at this point, is there anything more that needs to be done other than writing some language suitable for inclusion into the policy? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
