The upstart package that provides initctl command also provides following other commands:
start, stop, status etc
These commands are all present in /sbin/ in Redhat systems. We can see that status, start, stop, restart are all symlinks to initctl. How do they still work differently? For example to check the status of a job, we can do:

Code:

>>> initctl status <job>

We can also do

Code:

>>> status <job>

How is that status command works differently when it is a symlink to initctl?
