Hmm, that's pretty much counter to every init script in Fedora (or at 
least to the ones I spot-checked) ;-)

/usr/share/fedora/template.init also violates this, as it does:

restart() {
    stop
    start
}

reload() {
    restart
}

force_reload() {
    restart
}


What are people's thoughts on this? Do we really want LSB-compliant init 
scripts? Or see what falls out from Harald's init redo stuff?

later,
