 I'm curious as to what issues you're having that would cause you to need
to replace the scripts provided. True, RedHat has probably over-engineered
some of their scripts but they work pretty good. They took the SysV init
method and kind of perverted it, but with current releases they are falling
more inline with the mainstream (i.e. Solaris). They even have /etc/init.d
linked to /etc/rc.d/init.d now.
