Andrew,

 It is nice to have a init script for cfengine2. I have a few remarks
   - You start all the daemons in one script. You do not need
     to install all the daemons. So why no use a config file like
     most debian packages do in /etc/default/cfengine2 and there we
     decide which deamons will be started, eg:
        CFEXECD=no
        CFSERVD=yes
        CFENVD=yes

     In the future this can also be used to pass arguments to the daemons.

   - In my situation i have a init script for every daemon. That also use
     the /etc/default/<daemonname> style. It is just another aproach.

   - I do not have problems with the locks if a start the daemons, but
     that is just my observation
