Hi there-

I'm a big fan of 'status' in init scripts--there's a bunch of places
in Ubuntu that could use some improvement there ;-)

A couple of comments and pointers...

1) Minor nit, but your whitespace in the status section is not in line
with the other case stanzas
2) Take a look at an init script that has a working status stanza, for
instance, /etc/init.d/ntp:
3) Instead of exiting 0, do like the ntp init script does, which is
print an appropriate message via log_success_msg or log_failure_msg,
and then exit with the status error code, instead of hard coding the
exit code.

Does that help?
