However I decided to actually give it a try, and found that IMO it is actually quite useful. So, I've committed my version of the concept to HEAD. Take a look, give it a try, etc. etc. Comments and feedback are welcome. I'd like to get this MFC'ed prior to the 7.3 freeze unless there is some kind of objection.

Its primary purpose is to start and stop services provided by the rc.d scripts, however it can also be used to list the scripts using various criteria. -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
