I know. I miss, though, the possibility to create my own "status" |
| 12 |
function that at least lets me know if the process is there. I haven't |
| 13 |
been able to override the "status" cleanly. |

What I was thinking was something like other init systems do: each |
| 25 |
script can have a "status" overridden at init.d script level that can do |
| 26 |
checks: wether this is a single ps|grep or something more complex it's a |
| 27 |
packager's choice. |

I'll give it a shot asap. |

There are initng scripts found here. |

| 43 |
Maybe someone has tested them? |
