Simple service script for Graphites carbon-cache daemon

carbon

#!/bin/bash

# chkconfig: 35 90 12
# description: carbon-cache script

LOCKFILE=/var/lock/subsys/carbon

# Get function from functions library
. /etc/init.d/functions

# Start the service carbon-cache
start() {
        cd /opt/graphite && ./bin/carbon-cache.py start
        ### Create the lock file ###
        touch $LOCKFILE
        success $"carbon-cache.py startup"
        echo "carbon-cache started"
}

# Stop the service carbon-cache.py
stop() {
        cd /opt/graphite && ./bin/carbon-cache.py stop
        ### Now, delete the lock file ###
        rm -f $LOCKFILE
        success $"carbon-cache.py stopped"
        echo "carbon-cache stopped"
}

### main logic ###
case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
  status)
        status carbon-cache.py
        ;;
  restart|reload|condrestart)
        stop
        start
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0

Would be really happy about any hints about how to make this script better as I'm not that good with bash.
