OK, sorry for being a bit blunt. But I hope stefan knows I'm not always
like that;)

It appears that is inevitable that we introduce distro specific
functions here, because you do not appear to have /etc/init.d and we
don't have service.

It is probably easiest to just call `service XXX' that way we can
easily add a wrapper function. If we would keep /etc/init.d/XXX it is
harder to wrap and you would have to patch pm-utils in various places.
