system services

[Caleb O'Connell]

I'd like to have service like samba, lisa, cups start at a timed interval 
well after the desktop is loaded.  Right now they all start at boot, can 
xinetd do timed starts? how should it be setup to start on demand, like
when I want to print, have it start cups when I request print for the file
menu.
