cservice - control cinit

cservice -[phearsu] <service>
   -e   - (ein) start a service (including all needed dependencies)
   -a   - (aus) stop a respawing service, don't care about other services

   -r   - reboot
   -h   - halt
   -p   - poweroff (on some systems the same as halt)
   -s   - reScue mode - only a shell

   -u   - update: hot reboot - shutdown system and execute /sbin/cinit

A service may be specified either as relative or as absolute path.

-h, -p, -r, -s and -u need the "Magic Word" to do their work: "thilo"

Some examples:

   cservice -e /etc/cinit/getty/8         # fire up getty/8
   cd /etc/cinit/getty; cservice -a ./8   # shut down getty/8
   cservice -h thilo                      # halt
   cservice -r thilo                      # reboot
   cservice -s thilo                      # rescue
   cservice -u thilo                      # update
