Excellent.  Hope it works for you.

Of course, qmail is fast and has YET to have a security bug :P
But if that works for you...GREAT.

Never heard of it, but will keep a mental note.

ps -ef | grep ct

This should show anything running.

If there isn't any data there, will it still run? (config dependencies?)

Follett evidently does not know that Unix is multi-user multi-tasking.
That does not make any sense to me.

If you really felt compelled, you could ALT-F3 and sign on and then execute it.
Better to just run
nohup follet_init &

(follet_init replace with whatever the executeable or startup script is)

/etc/rc.d/init.d/start_follet.sh
