seems reasonable to me.  you could also model it after the 'jail'  
startup script which does something similar to start up multiple jails.

whatever you come up with i'll put into the port as long as it is  
back-compatible with the existing one.

personally, I use daemontools to monitor and manage all my slon  
daemons.  i do not use the rc script.
