SysV init stinks. Have you considered running svscan from rc.local or
whichever other perversion your Linux distribution uses instead?

Say:

LWQ r00l3z extreme. Great, great piece of documentation. But personally,
I don't like the SysV init explained there. I would recommend grabbing
the excellent <http://pobox.com/~tu/qmail-conf.html> by Tetsu Ushijima
and using that instead.
