Description Michal Marciniszyn 2007-04-25 12:25:46 UTC
Description of problem:
The following code exits from the script with error code 0 even when the service
is not correctly started.
if [ "$NETWORKING" = "no" ]
then
        exit 0

It also disables the invocation of status command, which should be executable
all the time. Also there are minor errors in other non-zero error codes.

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

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable networking
2. service arpwatch status
3. 
  
Actual results:
nothing is displayed, 0 is returned

correct status of the service is returned

status command is run correctly.
