Outline:

When I installed the corosync package and tried to start it there was no
output and it returned exit code 0.  After some digging I see the
following in the init script:

if [ "$START" != "yes" ]; then
        exit 0
fi

When I look in /etc/default/corosync I see:

# start corosync at boot [yes|no]
START=no


The 'START' param is only meant to affect behavior on boot in the init script provided the service will not start at all unless the service is set to start on boot.  If I change the config to:

# start corosync at boot [yes|no]
START=yes

I am then able to start the package normally from the command line.
