Red Hat does some of this for chkconfig already, and it would be nice to
preserve that.

We're also planning on reworking much of our initscript architecutre to
permit (optional) files which look like:
binary=/usr/sbin/inetd
pidfile=/var/lib/inetd.pid
killmethod=TERM
or something similiar. Again, this would be an optional method of
putting together initscript configuration which would eliminate the
need for (possibly buggy) shell code at every step.
