The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Is there any way to invoke a specific procedure when a service program
is first activated? For example, to load configuration information. I
can use a pretty simple brute force design pattern: every procedure in
the service program calls an internal procedure called init(), and the
first thing init() does is check a static variable to see if it's
already been called. I don't have a problem with that technique, but I
was just wondering if I was missing something a little more elegant.
