managing Gentoo services

[Phil Barron]

Hi,

I have a playbook that enables the vixie-cron service on Gentoo

However it fails to start the service using init scripts.  Is there a different way of managing services on Gentoo systems?

Thanks.

I just tried 1.8.4 and current development, this works for me on Gentoo
