[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#488275: samba and winbind: initscript miss 'status' option

[Tim Stoop]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch10
Severity: wishlist

Hi there,

The initscripts for both samba and winbind are not LSB compliant because
they miss the 'status' option. Please provide the 'status' option in the
initscripts.

In particular I'm running into this problem when trying to create a
Samba failover setup: Heartbeat 2 requires the status option.

More info about LSB compliant initscripts:
<http://www.linuxfoundation.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html>

(Also note that it should exit with status 3 if the application is not
running.)

This would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and
effort!

Kind regards,
Tim Stoop
