That is a question? Svc saves no history and sets no state that
survives rebooting.

No. The only program you need to start various long-running services
is svscan. For example, here's my /service directory on my server:
axfrdns dnscache ftpd msql2d qmail rsyncd sshd
bray etrn httpd pop3d qmtpd smtpd tinydns
Most of these are obvious. "bray" is not a service name but instead
the name of a friend who needs to have a tcpservice running on a
non-root port. So I do this:
#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid bray tcpserver -HRl0 0 2379 ~bray/bin/server

What does "properly" mean? I don't know of any reboot or shutdown
program that is going to wait twenty minutes for all the qmail-remotes
to exit. If you want it properly shutdown, you must do "svc -d
/service /service/*/log", wait for all the servers to exit, and then
reboot.
