boot up init.d script hack for fedora

[boud]

yep, me again,

This is a hack which works on fedora core 2, since the debian script
failed because start-stop-daemon was missing (i couldn't find out how
to install it and i suspected that hacking something like this could
go more deeply into the system than would be safe - samizdat is not the
only service on the server).

It's a bit rough. The stop function seems to kill this script as well
as the samizdat-drb-server (problem with "-" in parsing output from ps  ???)
and returns to the terminal prompt without printing an end-of-line.

But it seems to work and i thought a rough hack that works might be
useful to others.


cheers
boud
