[Bug 1810926] Re: initscript status check is too fragile

[Andreas Hasenack]

You are forcing the compatibility between sysv and systemd into a corner
here. I understand that your idea is to provide a simple case to
reproduce the bug, but let's step back for a second and look at this
statement:

"""
The initscript is used as a LSB RA for pacemaker deployments; this bug effectively prevents pacemaker from realizing that haproxy is down (in some cases).

"""

The above is the original reason for this bug. Is masking the service
via systemd one of those cases? As you saw in /lib/lsb/init-
functions.d/40-systemd, the 0 exit status is quite explicit for masked
services, and not something we should change lightly.

Another option, I'm guessing, would be to change pacemaker to use
systemctl instead of the initscript directly. No idea how feasible that
is.
