This all sounds very reasonable. But then I would suggest that you at 
least make sure that all scripts you deliver contain the *same* perl 
line, not some with /usr/bin/perl and others with /usr/local/bin/perl.

Additionally, those lines you suggested above should be incorporated 
into your init script. Explicitly running perl and passing the radiusd 
or restartWrapper scripts as arguments instead of invoking them 
directly is a smart solution to my problem, so it would be nice if your 
init script used this method by default.


The reason I'm interested in useful defaults is that we use only RPMs 
in our system. Ideally I want to use your code unaltered and all my 
changes or site-specific customizations should end up in my RPM spec 
file. Every change I have to do in your code means I either have to 
replace it with our own version or write a separate patch file and 
apply that during the package build. The /usr/local/bin/perl is an 
example. The default on almost every system I know is /usr/bin/perl.


Cheers
