genrc - Summary
Free Software
Generic helper program for writing system initialization scripts. Depending on the operation mode, it starts, stops, reconfigures or displays the status of a specific program.
Primary audience is Slackware system administrators. However, the tool is generic enough to be used on any other Linux (and not only) distribution.
In the contrast to another similar programs like start-stop-daemon, it is designed so that the entire rc file can consist of only one line, invoking (or exec'ing) genrc with the right set of arguments.

This version implements new command verb: wait. It instructs genrc to wait for the service to finish and implies that its termination was initiated by some third-party means. The command exits with code 0 if the service has finished and with code 1 if stop timeout has been reached.

Genrc version 1.5.2 is released. New in this version:
New option: -q, --quiet
This is a counterpart of --verbose: it suppresses all diagnostic messages, except errors. It is especially useful with the status command verb, when only the exit status of the command is of interest.
