From reading the LSB documentation you linked to, i suspect the script i 
forwarded yesterday supports LSB. I wrote it basically by modifying 
another daemon's init.d script. It might be worth testing my script on 
Red Hat. With luck, it will work.

If anyone has a Red Hat system running NDT, could you please test the 
script i sent yesterday?
