Note that the format of these scripts - specifically, how they are called - is different between 10.1 and 10.2. (With 10.1, they're merely called with 'start,' 'stop,' or 'restart,' but stop and restart aren't implemented, and with 10.2, I believe they're called with 'StartService,' 'StopService,' or 'RestartService,' and the calling process provides a 'StartService' sub for the script to leverage.) -Charles Euonymic solutions euonymic.com
