sysvinit scripts have ended up where almost every large project that
spans many years ends up:

#!/bin/sh

# do a standard action here
idea.get()

# do some weird magic hacked user-defined shit here
???

# do a few more standard things here
profit(!)





sysvinit, like X11, needs a massive overhaul and a sprint clean.
systemd may or may not be a good replacement
