Christoph, an all...

> Possible solutions are to extend init-scripts to do the job

Not sure I like this idea, after running SuSEconfig (shouldn't that be a
symlink to SUSEconfig now? ;)), I like to read through the generated
config files in /etc or wherever before running the init script.  Now,
that may be me being paranoid, but I like to make sure that the config
of [insert daemon here] is sane before restarting it

This could become a real pain to maintain, not really my problem
directly, just thinking about the poor packagers...

+1 - please don't touch this, it does its job admirably and since it
respects manual changes correctly, it allows for people to make their
own config changes if they so desire.

I think cron for this, there's no inherent reason that I can think of
why this shouldn't just be done at 0100.
