I appended a shell script to this email, which starts/stops sshd in SYSV
like style.  If you are interested, you can include it in the
distribution.  It goes to /etc/init.d/sshd and has symlinks from the
/etc/rc?.d directories to it, but the details of those links differ
among systems.  SYSV admins will know what to do with the script,
though.  :)
