I wasn't a big fan of the behaviour (actually i thought it stunk).   I 
like the script asking to stop the services and doing it for you, but if 
we don't like that I would at least ask for the following:

a)  Have the script print out ALL services that are still running.  
Currently it would just print out one until you stopped that one, and 
then would print out the 2nd, etc...   When you have 5+ init scripts 
this is extremely annoying.

b)  Have the script print out the commands to stop the running 
services.  Something like:

The following services are running and need to be stopped:   tomcat6  
katello-jobs
Please run the following commands to stop them:
      service tomcat6 stop
      service katello-jobs stop


To me that would go a long way to fixing the annoyances without having 
to have the script reliably stop all the services.
