Shrug-- if there is *unmentioned* additional complexity, well, no doubt you're
correct.
Another alternative might be to switch to launchd, which is more of a
capability-based system which stops and starts services more dynamically,
including upon notification that an intermittent network connection is
presently active and usable. ("rc NG" is quite capable on it's own right, but
a lot of the flexible behavior of a Mac laptop dealing with suspend/resume,
network drops and resumes, etc comes from launchd architecture.)
