Title:
  Unknown parameter

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
