If they follow system V (god bless SCO) standard, then that is ideal. Unfortunately Gentoo does not. Perhaps a utility for generating init scripts would be nice. Such tools would be really nice for targetting the various init architectures out there. I really hate putting packages on my redhat machine (like Win4Lin) that don't follow the system V standard and thus don't integrate with my system standard scripts (can't be managed by the runlevel editor, don't detect changes and process existance properly etc).
