I've got one... If you want to disable a service, well, you can't. The 
way around it that I found is to wrap the service startup and shutdown 
in a script then get the script to delete the event from /etc/event.d 
when you want to disable it. Otherwise, if you reboot, the event will be 
started automatically.

This was a while ago on Fedora 9 though so not sure if that issue has 
been fixed yet.
