I like your idea because I find sysV's /etc/init.d convenient. One
suggestion: could you put the above boilerplate into a file that gets
sourced by all the /etc/rc.d scripts (in case you want to make a
global change to it)? And I dislike calling the scripts
/etc/rc.d/foo.sh because (IMO) the .sh is redundant and potentially
misleading if (e.g.) the sysadmin decides to rewrite them in Perl.
Tony.
