Great stuff. Is it true that no changes will need to be made to /etc/init.d/functions?

First, you'll need a passel of configuration files. E.g., /etc/ganglia/gmond-test.conf vs. /etc/ganglia/gmond-release.conf; same for gmetad,.... You'll need a port set for each configuration (i.e., an equivalent to 8649-8652; say 8749-8752 for 'test' or whatever). Then you'll set up your init scripts so wherever it starts the daemon you're trying to start, it uses the '-c' option to name that configuration's .conf file. And you'll need a copy of the init script per configuration of each daemon. I.e., /etc/init.d/gmond-test, etc . Remember to chkconfig -add each of your "new services". It's probably possible to set up the init script so it inspects $0 to identify the config file; for my use cases it's always been more straightforward to cut & paste. Then you'll need to symlink or copy or git pull or whatever floats your fancy a web tree per configuration, and set up the 'conf.php' file so it points @ the right gmetad for that configuration.
