I didn't think this through very carefully. I think it'd be better to:
touch /var/qmail/supervise/*/down /var/qmail/supervise/*/log/down
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/* /service
Once as root, and change the "start" section to:
echo -n "Starting qmail"
svc -u /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtpd
svc -u /service/qmail-send/log /service/qmail-smtpd/log
echo "."

This will make it into LWQ after I've had a chance to test and debug
it.

No, I just forgot to remove the "x" flags. Make it:
echo -n "Stopping qmail: qmail-send qmail-smtpd"
svc -d /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtpd
echo -n " logging"
svc -d /service/qmail-send/log /service/qmail-smtpd/log
echo "."

What makes this a "silly initscript"? What's the right way to do this
stuff in your OS religion?
In what way does it not run svc directly?
