init script with both problems fixed

Description of problem:
[root@ejs-desktop ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/microcode_ctl start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/microcode_ctl: line 52: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/etc/rc.d/init.d/microcode_ctl: line 52: `}'

Also, on fixing the syntax error, it doesn't print the "[  OK  ]" or "[FAILED]" anymore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
microcode_ctl-1.17-1.55.fc12

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (as root) service microcode_ctl start
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Syntax error.

Expected results:
Applying Intel CPU microcode update:                       [  OK  ]

Additional info:
It looks like bash doesn't allow empty functions. The empty stop function and references to it could be removed.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

microcode_ctl-1.17-1.55.fc12 isn't in Fedora 12 or even rawhide, only koji.

microcode_ctl-1.17-1.56.fc12 from updates-testing is still broken:

# /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl start
/etc/init.d/microcode_ctl: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/etc/init.d/microcode_ctl: line 59: `}'

Fix init script output

There's no syntax error in microcode_ctl-1.17-1.57.fc12, but the init script still doesn't output the [  OK  ] or [FAILED], the line that is printed is with "echo -n" so the message from whatever starts next will be printed on the same line.

Also the init script's "Usage:" line doesn't print out correctly due to a stray $ (the first one).

Re-opening.

Still busted. Note, the initscript misses a "\n" as well, it's just 2 lines
and not three as bugzilla will make it. The third line with the prompt is
directly appended to the second.

Also an issue with Red Hat 6 beta.
