title: Linux Standard Base Compliance and Daemon Managment
body: <p>I am looking to control a number of processes across a variety of systems. My main problem is each system is not the same distribution of Linux. I was wondering if LSB, specifically the <code>status_of_proc()</code> function and a variety of other functions found in <code>/lsb/init-functions</code> is a viable means to this process. If not are there other standards I can fall back on.</p>
