Hmm, thats good advice Alexander, I have a few things in rc.local to load at 
boot time (that do not use or need an init file). 
I was not aware of the lm_sensors.init script though :( 
Is it really required to be a service? Surley this should of been done right 
by the RPM packagers if it is needed.

Just my thoughts,
