Source agent runs start regardless of command

$  bin/agent status

Once you ctrl-c out, it will run the actual command.

I think that lines 7 to 14 of /bin/agent should be moved into the $action case statement, under the start command (currently line 24).

if the supervisor is not already running then the agent is not running and the info page will show that it's not running which is useless.

So is this intended functionality? This is different from how it works on deb and redhat, where running status will simply tell you if the agent is running. I know that some users would want to use the status command in configuration management tools, so we should try to be consistent across different packaging.

yes, running "status" shouldn't try to run the program itself (same with info)
