Seth:

Many thanks!!! That's definitely an improvement: qmail now starts quietly 
and runs in the background.

What's left: To correctly report the status of starting-up. There may not be 
anything that can be done though. I guess that this functionality must come 
from the qmail-start binary? It's possible to execute /var/qmail/rc multiple 
times (effectively executing /var/qmail/bin/qmail-start multiple times) 
without any complaint that qmail is already running.
