[Bug 683640] Re: status_of_proc is returning incorrect error code

[Chad Netzer]

In order to get my Pacemaker/Corosync lsb resources working correctly, I
applied a modified version of Psi-Jack's patch.  I'm not sure why he
removed the setting of the "specified" local var, but I left that in
because I have resources that specify their own path to a pidfile.
However, I unconditionally used the pidof check, which has the intended
effect of returning 3 (instead of 4) when a resource/daemon is not
running.

Here is the patch I'm using (I'll attach it as well):
