Description Flags
Set exit value based on /var/lock/subsys on 'netfs status' none

Description Toralf 2002-03-05 07:22:02 UTC 
Description of Problem:
'service netfs status' will return successfully regardless of whether the
service has been started or not. I think it ought to exit with a non-zero value
when the service has been stopped or just isn't enabled. This is would be very
useful for scripts that need to stop and restart services on specific events,
such as /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript.

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

initscripts-6.40 or initscripts-6.53-1
How Reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service netfs stop
2. service netfs status
3. echo $?

Actual Results:
0

Expected Results:
Non-0
