Matt,

Thanks, I have it working and it looks great!!

I don't know if I needed to do it or not, but when I put your script in 
/etc/init.d directory, I changed the permissions with:

sudo chmod 755 ./ike

This set them to the same as all the others in the directory.

The icon is a nice touch.

Thanks again.

Charlie Morrison
