Hi,

Here is a patch which adds systemtap initscript to systemtap src tree.
This patch also adds systemtap-initscript rpm sub-package to systemtap.spec.

This systemtap initscript aims to
- run systemtap script as a service with dependency.
- control(start/stop) those scripts individually.
- launch script before other services.

After installing initscript, you can add your scripts into
/etc/systemtap/script.d/ and specify options by configuration
files under /etc/systemtap/conf.d/.
You can run it by
$ service systemtap start
and stop it by
$ service systemtap stop

See stapasaservice-en.txt in detail.

Thank you,
