Thanks for all the replies. It just gets annoying doing the whole
/etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d dance.
I was loathe to create my own script because it seemed such details as
where the rc.d / init.d / etc. directories were located should be
abstracted to the operating system, and thus, the operating system's
package distribution system or default binaries. Ie. I didn't feel
like making an 'rc' script for each type of operating system I admin.
