Can you please let me know why they are needed

and
if [ "`uname`" = "Linux" ]; then
[ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0

who will define $NETWORKING ?
are these calls OS specific , for instance they are for red hat
Yes - this looks like a Red Hat script. It's certainly not the one that
ships with the source distribution.
I believe $NETWORKING is defined in $INITD/functions and indicates that
you at runlevel 3 or above (so not in single-user recovery mode or
anything odd like that).
Oh, and you shouldn't be running 8.0.0 - upgrade to 8.0.9 as soon as is
practical. There are many bugfixes between the two versions.
