Here is another way of achieving a similar end, which is already half 
implemented.

On Sys-V based systems (well, Irix, at least, is where  I saw it), and 
now in FreeBSD:/usr/local/rc.d/* the daemon startup files are run
as 'xntpd start'.

This could be extended to

'pkg command', where 

pkg={sendmail|qmail|apache|...}

and

command={start|stop|enable|disable}.

Just a thought for something flexible and extensible.

Danny
