Given the responses so far, I might consider doing a MBF based on the
list I posted at [0]. I think this list is pretty complete wrt SysV init
scripts. I could extend that to cronjobs etc if there is interest.

Is there some general agreement that such a MBF would be
worthwile/appreciated?

Steve, Bigon, in such a case, would you be willing to help draft the MBF
text?
