After running chkconfig... daemon up after install?

Is there a canonical procedure for either the %post or the caller of
rpm/yum to start any daemons that may have been installed? Doing a
service foo start is a no-no in %post, as the install may be happening
in a context that is not a normal install. But there must be a way to
give users happy fluffy bunnies and working active software after they
install a daemon in a "running machine" context.

Pointers welcome - this is probably a FAQ but googling around I can't
find anything that looks like the appropriate answer.

cheers,
