[Bug 367679] [NEW] /etc/init.d/nagios3 status returns 0 if nagios isn't running

[Mikel Ward]

Public bug reported:

The init.d script says status OK even when the Nagios daemon is not
running.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios3 status
 * checking /usr/sbin/nagios3... [ OK ] 
$ sudo pgrep nagios
(no output)

It's because the script is passing 0 to the log function rather than 1.

$ diff -u nagios3.old nagios3

Now it does what I think it should:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios3 status
 * checking /usr/sbin/nagios3... [fail] 

(spaces between ... and [] were omitted for brevity)

$ dpkg -l nagios3
