Hi everyone, please consider merging the following trivial patch that makes the ceph init script return the proper LSB exit code (3) for the status action if the service is gracefully stopped, and only return 1 (as before) if the service has died and left its PID file hanging around.
Who cares about the exit code? Pacemaker does (http://www.clusterlabs.org). Pacemaker is a high-availability resource manager that can be used for monitoring and recovering resources in-place, and as per a brief discussion in #ceph that I had with Greg before the holidays, no such in-place recovery currently exists within Ceph itself. Integrating init script based services with Pacemaker is trivial if the script complies with the exit codes that the LSB spec specifies. Feedback on this is much appreciated. Hope this is useful.
