With some further additions and testing, the current patch for this is here: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/rleigh/sysvinit.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f208974e295f187238d2ef6831ebc35d72b3c7de If you'd like to try this out, I'd be grateful for any feedback. If you would prefer prebuilt packages for testing, just let me know, and I'll make them available for download. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
