I can't say wether it's clever or not, but this is what I use on my Red
Hat machines:

shellcommands:

  foo_server.redhat::

    "/sbin/chkconfig --list foo | grep 3:off"
        useshell=true
        inform=false
        define=foo_restart
        define=foo_chkconfig_on

  foo_chkconfig_on::

    "/sbin/chkconfig foo on"
        useshell=false

  foo_restart.redhat::

    "/sbin/service foo restart"
      useshell=false
