RC Style Start/Stop for netsaint_statd (remote system stats)

[twebster]

Below is a rc style script to start/stop the netsaint_statd daemon that I is used for grabbing remote statistics.
The netsaint_statd is available at http://www.raxnet.net/downloads/scripts ... int.tar.gz

I will also post this message in the first of the above links for later reference.

I used this on RedHat, placed in the /etc/init.d directory.
