Because along the same lines, you'll need to "fix" named(8), sendmail(8) and anything else that gets started from init.d However, in many cases the same daemons (e.g: sendmail) are being used on *different* Linux and Unix platforms. Would you maintain a separate manual page for sendmail (or qmail) for each different platform, just because the platform *scripts* are different? > You shouldn't have to look at the init.d script for that.

(I spell checked, but I'm sure not everybody need to suffer from my English level...)
