[Bug 1235147] [NEW] Unknown parameter

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

several programs (like e.g. puppet) use /sbin/status to figure out
whether a service is currently running. Unfortunately, this does not
work with all services listed under /etc/init. Some fail due to missing
variables, e.g.

# /sbin/status startpar-bridge
status: Unknown parameter: JOB
