It's just you *8-)

Whilst the source code distro doesn't have a generic UNIX
startup scripts, most rpm (and other Linux package
distributions) do have such a script.

BIND 9 also has a nanny.pl PERL script in the contrib section of
the source tar ball, which is perhaps a better method if BIND is
at all unstable (Not that I've seen 9 crash once it's going, but
I guess I've been lucky so far).

Drop me a line of list if you need a bigger clue... Or try a
local Linux User Group - if your Southwest of Bristol I'll
probably answer that query as well *8-)
