Title:
  hostname.sh exit status 1

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initscripts

  /etc/init.d/hostname.sh has an exit status of 1 even when all is well.

  The final line of hostname.sh's do_start() function is:

    [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_action_end_msg $ES

  If VERBOSE is set to no, this results in $? being 1. Nothing else
  happens in the script to override that, so the script's overall exit
  status is 1.

  One solution would be for hostname.sh to end (overall) with "exit 0"
  like many other init scripts.
