-----------------------------------
I'm okay with this refactoring.
> Refactor tools/init.d scripts

> 1. The scripts try to write lock files to /var/lock/subsys, which is owned by
> root. We should change this location to be somewhere that doesn't require
> root access.
> 2. The actual run command does an su to the CHUKWA_USER which also caused
> problems for us. It seems like it would be cleaner to not embed the su calls
> in the script, but instead allow the user to su when they run the script
> (which worked much better for us). That way everything done by the script
> would be done by the same user.
> 3. Each script has CHUKWA_HOME, CHUKWA_CONF_DIR and CHUKWA_USER hard coded.
> Hard coded defaults is ok, but the ability to override them without modifying
> the scripts would be ideal.
