Description Dell'Amico, Andrea 1999-02-04 10:08:09 UTC 
The status function does a grep to find a process, but
doesn't do a "grep -v grep". So it always sees a process
running and it's completely useless in this way.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 1999-02-04 15:59:59 UTC 
this has been fixed in a later release of initscripts.
