Hi Francesco,

One tweak that is the same across all the startds is at least better 
than a different tweak for each environment running a different kernel.

If that is an option, then I would suggest using STARTD_CRON to publish 
information about the kernel.  There's some information about how to do 
that here:

I'm sure you already knew all that, but it's worth mentioning for the 
record.

Cheers,
