Don't let go! It's not unreasonable to expect to manage cfengine
processes like other processes, whatever the OS (as opposed to using
rc.local, for example). I think it would be great if cfservd and cfenvd
'played nice' and put pid's in /var/run, on approriate OS's, if that's
not a posixly kind of thing to do everywhere. Init scripts sometimes
get around the lack of a pid by calling 'pidof'. Shouldn't need to
write your own init script though. Just ask, either Google, or here.
