I agree with your complaint: while the script may need to invoke itself
(typically for a restart command which looks like "$0 stop ; $0 start"), it
doesn't need an absolute path to do so. SysV-style init scripts used to be
associated with runlevels, so that the startup script for Squid would be in
/etc/init.d/squid, and symlinked to /etc/rc2.d/S50squid. That is, symlinked via
a relative path like "../init.d/squid", not an absolute path.
