Assuming that you mean that the environment of the child scripts doesn't
affect the job, that's a simple fact of UNIX - though I'm actually
investigating interesting ways of making it possible ;)

The idea would be that when the pre-start script exits, we pick up the
environment table and add that back to the job -- this may require some
changes to the way init gets child signals or something though.

pre-stop is only executed on a stop request, ie. if you issue:

	# stop env_test
	# POST MESS: 0

If your job stops naturally, it is not run, since its primary purpose is
to issue a stop command to the running process or make a decision to
ignore the stop command.
