Bug Description

I'am using lxd containers. In the containers installed ntp package.

Ubuntu 14.04 has old init.d script to manage a service.

This script using status_of_proc, function from /lib/lsb/init-functions which is disregards that system can have ntpd processes running in containers. And returns success status, when ntp service is not running on host system but it running in container.

I have to beg your pardon that I (and it seems nobody else) found time for that.
Thinking about it again I think this isn't a ntp issue anyway but a generic problem for status_of_proc of init-functions.

Marking that to affect lsb-base instead due to that, that even applies to Xenial as far as I could see so I'm not yet clear if/which releases to mark.

affects: ntp (Ubuntu) → lsb (Ubuntu)

Maybe on the lsb scope this was already discussed, seems pretty generic to me.
