We also enforce 1) what is calls is really the daemon and not just a shell script that launches some 2) When `/etc/init.d/foo status` is called it checks to see if all started daemons are still running, if not then it stops itself. baselayout-2 will change this a little so that status will just report the status, and a new command (crashed, isrunning, any other ideas?) will report if it's crashed or not. We also have C bindings for this. Thanks Roy -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
