I don't just remove "exit $?".  Since the script is kicked by "exec",
the return value from the script is returned to the process which
kicked service(8), directly.
About the value this change, I think it should be same as the values
at boot time.  I cannot imagine that someone want to restart the
system daemons under the user environment.  Even if someone want to do
so, he still can kick /etc/rc.d/foo, directly.
Further, it seems service(8) does similar thing on CentOS.

Sincerely,
