It is not running -that's clear. I tend to think that service not
running is the same as dead.
I think there's room for a difference of opinion on this. My guess is
that the difference is mostly theoretical.
If you kill -9 a service, then you're going to get exit 1 or 2. I don't
think that warrants failing to start the service - which is what we'd do
if we didn't map it into 7.
You didn't offend me at all. But, since I did write the exit code
mapping stuff, I was pretty sure about it ;-).
