Description of problem:
When using the 'status' parameter in the scripts in /etc/init.d/ directory, the
variable RETVAL is not set correctly.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at for example at /etc/init.d/httpd
2. when the 'status' parameter is passed to the script, this lines
execute:
  status)
        status $httpd
  ;;

3. the RETVAL variable is not set. The solution is:
  status)
        status $httpd
        RETVAL=$?
  ;;

	

Expected Results:  It is expected that the RETVAL variable is set corecctly with
all the parameters passed to the script.

Additional info:

Sometimes you need to know the status of a service in a script with something
like this:

service httpd status
RESULT=$?

but not always you get exact RETVAL value when using the 'status' parameter.
