/etc/init.d/stunnel4 doesn't support the status command

[Andrew Schulman]

It would be nice if I could run

    service stunnel4 status

and get a return status that would tell me if the service was up. Then in order to check in a cron job that the service was up or restart it if it wasn't, I could just run

    service stunnel4 status || service stunnel4 start

instead of something more fiddly and complicated like

     [ -f /var/lib/stunnel4/stunnel4.pid ] && ps `cat /var/lib/stunnel4/stunnel4.pid` || service stunnel4 start

Many other services' init.d scripts support the status option.

Thanks!
