For now I would at least like to see 1) the KControl
Lilo editor supported
and 2) the qgrubeditor added to Trinity.
While reading the responses I just remembered a KDE app called KSysV. That
app is part of the kdeadmin package. Perhaps then managing startup
services and daemons might not be that huge of a challenge.
To my knowledge KSysV does not work with BSD style init scripts, but
should work with most other distros. The tool needs some polish. If some
developers join the team perhaps they can look at adding that polish and
even modifying or forking the tool for BSD style startup scripts.
<snip>
That would be a good starting point.
Also note that certain distributions may not even be able to do what is
requested. For example Upstart, which is the "new" Ubuntu SysV
replacement as of a couple releases ago, does not support the disabling of
any startup services as of Lucid. (!).
