We use the IDM Minichecker, http://www.novell.com/communities/node/1163/minichecker, and wanted to be able to control it like any other service under Linux. If you're a Linux guru you will have done this yourself but as we're not all fully signed up beard wearers here is what we use.

Install minichecker into /opt/novell and set up your required tests.
Copy the attached minicheck file into /etc/init.d and ensure it is set as executable.
Create the required symbolic links, I used the Yast services tool as it's easy.

The service will now start as the server boots through the run levels you choose.

To manually operate the service use;

minicheck start/stop/restart
