                          In OpenSUSE 11.4 sysvinit-tools package contains startproc, killproc and checkproc binaries which according to /etc/init.d/skeleton file and OpenSUSE documentation should be used in Sys-V type of init scripts. What is the idea of those binaries? Couldn't one achieve the same functionality of startproc, killproc and checkproc with nice, sudo, sleep and other similar tools?
