* Btw., this now requires a sweep over the ports tree, so those ports * that install a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh file can be converted to * distinguish between `start' and `stop' arguments. /etc/rc used to * call these scripts with `start' for quite some time already, but the * scripts usually ignore it (AFAIK). Once this is done, rc.shutdown * could implement the complementary calls to /etc/rc. Oh my goodness. Thanks for pointing this out Joerg, I didn't realize that. Hey porters, did you hear that? ;) This brings up a very interesting problem though...that is, most ports don't install the script if it already exists. We need to be much more intelligent than that (for obvious reasons).... Satoshi
