Indeed, when I had to set some stuff up on an AIX 5.3 server a few years 
back, the BSD style init scripts rather threw me.  It was almost as if 
there was just an rc.local.

And, going in the other direction, the Service Manager Facility in 
Solaris 10 is completely different, using XML service manifests, with 
monitor scripts, service properties, and a sophisticated dependency 
system so a service *can't* be started until all its dependencies are 
running.
