For most people systemd will be replacement for well-known initscripts which
did show script execution success/failure on startup and shutdown. I do not
think hiding status is good idea; e.g. in this case it makes it obvious
that we need to change something in shutdown order :)

If you suggest better message I send updated patch. Thank you!
