Description Terje Rosten 2007-07-05 10:39:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

The psacct initscript is returning error code 0 no matter what.
Even when is the status, while psacct is not running is returning 0.

In additional the initscript don't check error code from /sbin/accton.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

psacct-6.3.2-44.fc7

How reproducible:

Stop psacct:

/etc/init.d/psacct stop

and then issue the status command:

/etc/init.d/psacct status >/dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?

As psacct is stopped this should return 3, however returns 0

A patch to fix these problems is attached.
