I am using in my laptop a 2.4.22 kernel with software suspend ( http://swsusp.sourceforge.net/ ) I am thinking of making a ebuild for this kernel patch, but right now this patch is under heavy development (the 1.1 tree) so i am waiting to see if it reaches stable.

In the mean time i would like to make a better hibernate script more suited for gentoo, so i need some info i could not find easily. Is there a way to know the status of a particular service witought having to do a /etc/init.d/service status ? Is there a good fast way to start a series of services in the "right" order or do i just /etc/init.d/service1 ; /etc/init.d/service2 and have the system handle dependencies? I do not particularly like this method because it will probably waste time trying to start already started services.
