No there's not as what the init script actually starts is up to the init |
| 11 |
script. |

However, with baselayout-1.12 we intercept calls to start-stop-daemon and |
| 14 |
store information about what was started (binary, pidfile) so when root then |
| 15 |
does "/etc/init.d/foo status" we check to see if all the binaries are still |
| 16 |
running. If not then we do an "/etc/init.d/foo stop" behind the scenes. |

But some init scripts don't use start-stop-daemon, like sshd. These scripts |
| 19 |
will need to be re-working around start-stop-daemon. |
