Would any of the existing Init replacements meet your needs? http://redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-February/msg00335.html One of the most ambitious is SystemServices, which is written in Python and intends to support most of your requirements: http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/2003/Sep/27 The project was started last year by Gnome hacker Seth Nickell, and I'm sure he'd appreciate help on it. (I don't think development is active right now.)
