It's nice to see BSD has the capabilty to break startup scripts into per-task files these days (it's been around for a while now, I think). However, /etc/rc.shutdown is still a monolithic script. One of the nice things about a traditional sysV system is the use of S* and K* scripts to handle shutdown tasks. It's pretty trivial to modify /etc/rc.shutdown to launch any shutdown scripts in a given set of directories; I was wondering if there's a chance to get this change into FreeBSD permanently..? jan PS. Rationale: I've got a number of things (database stuff) which I need to be able to guarantee a clean shutdown of. I find per-task shutdown scripts to be an organisational godsend. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Strive to live every day as though it was last Wednesday.
