Sorry for leaping into this late, (and consequently getting the wrong people on the To: line), but what's the "90's" way of handling the genuinely script-like things in /etc? I can see how a unified parameter/value store would be a great advance for most things, but how do you do: /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.foo, the script that is executed by the !bg line at the bottom of your ppp.linkup file. /etc/{daily,weekly,monthly} ? -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
