I'd be happy with a template! I easily accept some tailoring.

No, it should not require tailoring in the code. That makes it impossible to fix things etc. If you look at the stuff that SuSE have done for many of their init scripts, the tweaking comes out of a /etc/sysconfig/<service> file that is picked up by /etc/init.d/<service>
And yea -- what Mary said! Install by rpm instead of Java windows... (I had a busy z800 customer give up and go home because the WAS install took so long -- hours before we left.) Get those Java install code writers to do something more valuable and send some sample (or live) startup scripts! ;-)
I was very determined not to run the GUI installer (because that really slows you down and burns expensive cycles) and was happy to find the magic option to avoid that. But the install of one of these products just terminated without any messages, and when I did set up a GUI it finally showed me the error message (insufficient space on my disk). Sigh.
