I hate to be the bad guy over here, but what about something similar
with SMF from Solaris. It's by far the best thing for what we need, and
it's already there and functional. It provides dependancy checking, and
any other feature you can think of. It should be easy to combine with
SELinux knowing all that information that is provided in the service xml
files. Let's try not to reinvent the wheel due to political issues
between Sun Microsystems and Red Hat.
Best regards,
Razvan
