I don't need nstxcd to run all the time. In particular, it doesn't need
to start at boot time. However, I'd like to be able to use the normal
start up mechanism to start it on demand from the command line by, e.g.,
running the following:
/etc/init.d/nstxcd start
Taking inspiration form openvpn, which allows you to start arbitary
interfaces using the form:
/etc/init.d/openvpn start vpn-name
I'd propose that /etc/init.d nstxcd take an additional argument, force,
which indicates whether to respect the start_nstxcd variable.
