Makefile to start Daemons during init

Hello,

I woke up this morning with the strange idea of using a Makefile to write dependencies between daemons at start up, allowing to start more daemons in background, without breaking dependencies between them.
(Sometimes, you need one daemon to run before the other.)

Is it stupid? Has someone already tried that? Would it be very difficult/impossible to do?

Best,

Nicolas.

Re: Makefile to start Daemons during init

Besides the oddness factor of using 'make start' or 'make stop' to manage daemons, this is actually sounding pretty cool

Any Makefile experts care to offer an opinion?  Doable?  Preferable?
