Giving the status of the file is supposed to be a part of the rc.d
scripts. Checking syntax of config files isn't, though I just use

LSB dictates that start scripts have:
Usage: /etc/rc.d/apache {start|stop|status|full-status|restart|reload}
I think. I do need to go look at it to see how much crack I'm chewing.
