Yes, that should work fine if it ends up calling
/sbin/init.d/name start
and
/sbin/init.d/name stop
to start and stop it.

You just have to somehow inject
rc sysinit
into the boot process to remove all state data.

But a better way would be like so

/my/prefix/sbin/rc-wrapper
#/bin/sh
case "$1" in
   start) /my/prefix/sbin/rc default;;
   stop)  /my/prefix/sbin/rc single;;
esac

As you then get OpenRC handling the dependency order if you have >1
service.

Thanks
