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 Additional Information:
