I would prefer not to change the current output of 'sv status'.

This I like.  Instead of command line switches to the status command, we
could also use specific commands, such as
 $ sv status-pid <service1> <service2>
 <pid-service1>
 <pid-service2>
 $ sv status-uptime <service1>
 <number-of-seconds-for-service1>
 $ 
 ...

Jup, thanks, Gerrit.
