I mean something like this: case ${mta_enable} in [Yy][Ee][Ss]) if [ -r ${mta_start_script} ]; then sh ${mta_start_script} # eventually + ${mta_configuration} fi ;; esac It's much cleaner imho. And in old 4.4 (and earlier afaik) it was such - sendmail_enable and than it's configuration. If we want to switch from sendmail to generic mta (with its own rc) we should do so the cleanest possible way yours neologism P.S. please CC me cause I'm not on this list To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
