--list and --add

Using --list display the current status:

  [...]
  atd             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
  console-screen.sh       0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
  checkfs.sh      0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
  checkroot.sh    0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
  devfsd          0:on    1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:on
  cron            0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

And --add uses the default values associated with the init.d script to
set up the default symlinks.  Check your /etc/init.d/nfs-common for an
example on how to specify this information.

(and of course, it is available on RedHat, Irix and probably a few
others, making it a candidate for sysadm tool standardization.)
