I'm sorry, but just _assuming_ the status instead of _checking_ it sounds like a bad idea[tm]. It's even worse because we are talking about security-relevant services (AppArmor, SuSEfirewall) here - I'd prefer to get the real status instead of a "well, I started it..." ;-)
Well, either there is a daemon running and the check is working fine, either there isn't and the service isn't a "real" service. It was just faked.
Assuming a service is a daemon is quite shortsighted. Not to mention dumb.
