[Bug 1083087] [NEW] Not possible to modify the status of certain services

[Jan Rathmann]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

if I try to query the status of the service "network-interface" by
executing either:

service network-interface status
status network-interface
initctl status network-interface

I just get the following error message:

service network-interface status
status: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE

Modifying the status of this service (e.g. with start/stop/restart stanzas) is not possible either.
This happens in Raring and also in Quantal (early Ubuntu versions untested).

Kind regards,
Jan
