To run these enhanced initscripts you need something like the current

Perhaps you could use the runlevel system itself. There are plenty of
unused levels.
Doesn't switching runlevels involve stopping all running services from
the previous runlevel and then restarting them in the new runlevel?
No. The rc script will only start services that have an S link in the
runlevel you're going to, but not in the runlevel you're coming from. It
will also only kill services that have a K link in the level you're
coming from.
