Well then... you're touching service management monster, or iceberg if you like. Middle point would require proper service instance *and* virtual service support, so to speak, proper service dependencies support because the former won't be useful otherwise. And *this* goes back to your previous point because set/clean up (shell) helpers or functions support is essential without needing to write... everything again--in a service management perspective. Maybe you will find, *later*, some noticeable amount of times to... spend on the init-system monster, or iceberg if you like. Good luck! -- Error 404: gentoo user <0123456789> was not found
