Yes, that'd work too. My instinct would be to use flags if we have a 
particularly large number of items that could be queried, or subcommands 
if it's going to remain a fairly small set.

Right now we've got:
- PID
- uptime
- current state
- desired state
- last exit status
...anything I'm missing?

Five is a small enough number to be reasonable -- I'm just a bit leery 
after GNU Arch (where one of the constant complaints from new users was 
the sheer number of subcommands).

It's your baby, though, and if I'm going to be writing a patch, my 
intent is for it to meet your standards.
