Also remeber that using init scripts gives the posibility of running 
those same scripts to stop the services in reverse order when you 
shutdown a machine.  If you simply start programs in rc.local, when you 
shutdown the machine it won't stop your programs elegantly.  (for 
example, just look inside /etc/rc3.d and you will see all the start 
scripts 'S' which run when you bootup the machine and the kill scripts 
'K' which run when you shutdown the machine).
