     Dear KatolaZ,


     I probably didn't express things properly. My idea was precisely a 
way to workaround the issue you say. The idea was to modify the existing 
sysv-init scripts so that, while remaining 100% compatible with 
sysv-init, they become also usable by supervisors. If it proved possible 
and a standard method was agreed on, then I am convinced the authors of 
these daemons would do it upstream.


     Alas, supervision experts don't think it is possible :-(
