I am new to this but I have not seen how the "runzope" or zopectl start commands are done at system startup.  Mac OS X has its own system(s).  The old is called SystemStarter and the new is called launchd.  SystemStarter requires a directory and a few simple files.  I'm not sure what launchd requires.

Is there a need to implement these or has it already been done?  How do most people do it on the various unix/linux versions?

If not, I'll take a swag at it if others feel they could use it.
