shell questions
 

1 . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
why . exist
2 echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|abort|flush|check|status|condrestart}"
why $ exist in this command before quotation mark

1. If you'd read that file using eg 'more' you'd have seen

# -*-Shell-script-*-
#
# functions This file contains functions to be used by most or all
# shell scripts in the /etc/init.d directory.
