Actually, as one of my co-workers pointed out, I think Alex's original idea
(while not pretty) would _not_ cause a problem. As my co-worker pointed out
the executable bit will not get set on the created logfile, thus init (at
least I _think_ that's what executes these startup scripts) would not be
able to execute teh logfile.

Of course, if init (or whatever executes these), _sources_ the
/etc/rc?.d/S* files on a run level change, all bets are off, and it _would_
be a problem.

Anyone know for certain?
