$ rpmlint -I incoherent-subsys
incoherent-subsys :
The filename of your lock file in /var/lock/subsys/ is incoherent
with your actual init script name. For example, if your script name
is httpd, you have to use 'httpd' as the filename in your subsys directory.
It is also possible that rpmlint gets this wrong, especially if the init
script contains nontrivial shell variables and/or assignments.  These
cases usually manifest themselves when rpmlint reports that the subsys name
starts a with '$'; in these cases a warning instead of an error is reported
and you should check the script manually.
