The problem is in the bluetooth sysv script. As you probably have noticed, for most services this is no problem: [root@server1 root]# service gpm status gpm is stopped [root@server1 root]# echo $? 3 [root@server1 root]# service ntpd status ntpd (pid 12400) is running... [root@server1 root]# echo $? 0 [root@server1 root]# service bluetooth status bluetooth: unrecognized service [root@server1 root]# echo $? 1 But [root@server1 root]# service bluetooth status hcid is stopped sdpd is stopped hidd is stopped [root@server1 root]# echo $? 0 If you look inside the script, you can see that the return code is not being captured. Which one should it capture and exit with ? For other services, where there's only one process to check, it's quite simple. Here the solution could be to return 0 if all services are running. (ie. take the sum of the return codes) If you think this is a defect and you expected something else. Open a bugreport in bugzilla and then do a support call and point to this bugzilla entry.
