We've already discussed this. The default state of a service is controlled
by the absence or presence of a 'down' file. The actual state of a service
can be changed either manually or via a script, but this state *cannot be
strongly guaranteed* if it does not match the default. This is an
unavoidable limit of daemontools-like supervision schemes; do not blame it
on perp's design.
