Well, I know it is really troublesome job to change all of
/etc/init.d/* files. But it's not so bad idea that all init files
return meaningful exit status code (If it comes true, making wrapper
like RedHat will be easy).
I'm trying hack syslinux from few day ago, because:
1. I want to select boot or skip each daemon at bootup time.
2. Runlevel system doesn't provide me dynamic setting.
3. I want to interrupt init.d script process (for buggy daemon deadlock).
BTW, I want to select modprobe or skip each module dynamically (Some
module causes hangup). It is modutils matter.
