It's not the green that's important, it's the 'OK'.  The way Redhat
Linux boots, you can see at a glance which start-up commands failed and
which ones succeeded.  The way FreeBSD boots, it's all one big blur.

Also, in the Linux scheme, there is a standard mechanism to keep track
of which boot-time service has already been started, and any accidental
re-invocation of the script (without an intervening 'stop') will be
detected and rejected.  I personally find the 'chkconfig' command to be
very convenient to enable, disable, and list boot-time services, without
having to manually rename xxx.sh to xxx.sh.DISABLED and back.
