Slackware's init system is so hackable that I think achieving this is actually easy. If you have to manually launch your services more than 6 times in the lifetime of your OS instance then I'd think implementing this is actually worth the 7 minutes it takes. Plus it will be fun for you to learn how inittab and company work if you don't know already.

And fun is the main reason why people keeps hobby home labs, isn't it?
