We already have it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Works identically to SYSV-style
start/stop scripts. Use it, love it. My emulator just provides a
linux-style /etc/rc.d heirarchy, a chkconfig(8)-compatible script, and
start- and stop scripts for that system. This came about to placate lazy
engineers and I kinda got used to it. :)
