As I said before, the best approach IMO is to create a wrapper which
calls the real script (e.g. based on $0) and converts the interface.
I don't think putting stuff like "monitor" into a RC script is a good
idea, since it is the wrong place. This doesn't mean that a separate
mechanism e.g. for monitoring daemons wouldn't be a good idea.
