The problem as i see with this approach is that if someone kills a process
by hand (or it crashes), the start up scripts dont recognize it. This is
because as far as /mnt/.init.d is concerned it is still started.

The problem as
This doesnt help because now I have to find out if the process crashed
before doing zap.
I can understand why gentoo keeps the provides etc info in the /mnt/.init.d
files. But why
keep started etc in there. Even if it keeps it it should do a pid check
before just complaining
that it is already
I thought the stuff in /mnt/.init.d was tmpfs which means it's stored in
memory. In that case, as soon as you reboot it will be wiped. I think the
problem is that the pid is stored in /var/run/ and if there's already an
existing file there, it's assumed the process is running. What might be nice
