#5 Add a System V startup script

[Anonymous]

Could you please add a System V startup script
(/etc/init.d/swatch) so that swatch can be easily
started in daemon mode?

If required, I can submit a script that works for Red
Hat and SuSE, and possibly other distributions/Unices
as well.

'stop')

echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1
