The below script depends only on exiwhat (which itself depends on a Bourne
shell and awk amongst others) and sleep. Thoughts on how to cure the
sleep, though it's only for the cosmetic subsequent line, as well as other
criticisms welcome! It ought to work on all UNIX flavours.
This was inspired by trying (and failing) to get the Debian
start-stop-daemon stuff to do what I wanted when adding a second daemon.
