Having status read out the content of sysconfig wouldn't be a good thing - if loadkeys didn't run (it's not a daemon, so this can't be checked with ps or the likes), it would give bogus information and the user would wonder why. Since loadkeys modifies the kernel keyboard table, the only way to guess the currently loaded keyboard layout would require root access. Turning off status isn't a good idea either - each init script is supposed to handle the basic requests "start, stop, restart, condrestart, status" (a valid command line for any of them should never return an error), so a meaningless message like the one we're having is the way to go. |
