Package: rsync Version: 3.0.3-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch The rsync init script could really use a 'status' action, as defined in the LSB specification [1]. Such an action allows a system administrator to poll the service's init script and retrieve the status (running or not) of the daemon.
Recently, a new function, status_of_proc(), was added to /lib/lsb/init-functions that makes this relatively trivial. I've attached a patch that adds this functionality.
