initctl error messages need to be more useful with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Issue
initctl error message upon a syntax error is not helpful, and it's not easy to know what is wrong in the command.
Actual Result:
# initctl status tty
initctl: Unknown parameter: TTY
Expected Result:
# initctl status tty
initctl: usage - status tty TTY=/dev/tty##
Or something like that.
