Hey bakunin,
Many thanks for your reply!
the following is my plan and let me know if anything doesnt make sense :
1. Ideally the script should print out the log file in the following format:
2019-02-26 09:15:00 +1100,Success,ntpd,restart 2019-02-26 09:16:00 +1100,Error,ntpd,other-activity
But if I am really stuck,as long as the "$(success status),$(service name),$(activity)" are in the output then it will still be fine, someone will extend the script later on..
2. and the fields that I want in the log should include, the last three fields are the minimum and the date is optional depending on the complexity:
$(date and time in fixed format), $(success status), $(service name), $(activity)
3. single log vs multiple logs: I shouldve clarified earlier that the only service I need to work on is ntpd. So a single log would be fine for me.
4. I am not sure if it will be more complicated to write a separate error log since I only need to focus on one service which is ntpd.
Let me know if it makes sense to move on to the next step. thanks again for your help!

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
