Dear Mentors,

Before to start to create a new package, I'd like to ask you: Does it
already exist.
The goal of this tools is to work like initscripts mechanism.

A program like "initd" could accept command-line like this:

        initd [DIRECTORY] [OPTION] ...

        [DIRECTORY] = directory contains scripts (not daemon style)
        [OPTION] = command to give to deamons.

Why I need it ?
My provider have created a suite of program not like as deamons
To start this application, I need to load each scripts (and respect the
order).
To stop this applications, I need to kill each process (and respect the
opposite order)

With the "initd" concept, I could control initialisation of all application
with only one command (very useful because it must work with DRBD !)

Is this program "initd-like" does already exist ?

Otherwise,
I think to use "run-parts" and "start-stop-daemon" tools to create
my program.

What name is more appropriate for this tool ?

Initialize Directory as Daemons : initdd, initd, dinit .... ?

Thank you for your help or your point of view and reflexions.
Sorry for my poor english...
