I still believe that applications should be started from /etc/rc.d/rc2.d via link - the startscript itself should be in /etc/rc.d/init.d) while service-like applications like cluster software, security software and alikes should be started from inittab.
It is a pain when the system doesn't boot because some application script started from inittab doesnt work or is started at the wrong time of the system boot sequence - or even worse because the entry in inittab is wrong / not working at all - and I myself prefer to rename scripts in init.d when I do not want them to start for any reason rather than to over and over modify inittab - but this might be just personal taste.

amcleanup
AMCLEANUP(8) System Manager's Manual AMCLEANUP(8)
NAME
amcleanup - run the Amanda cleanup process after a failure
SYNOPSIS
amcleanup config
DESCRIPTION
Amcleanup generates the Amanda Mail Report and updates the Amanda databases after a system failure on a tape server host. This cleanup
process is normally done automatically as part of the amdump program, but if amdump cannot complete for some reason (usually because of a
tape server host crash), amcleanup must be run some time later (usually during system boot).
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
EXAMPLES
This example runs the Amanda cleanup process by hand after a failure.
% amcleanup DailySet1
Putting the following line in a system boot script (e.g. /etc/rc.local) runs the Amanda cleanup process as part of the reboot, eliminating
the need to run it by hand.
/usr/sbin/amcleanup DailySet1
If nothing needs to be done, amcleanup exits normally with the message:
amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up.
