Inc. Thanks for this work. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to use a standard suffix for all dedicated admin utility such as vidcontrol, memcontrol, kbdcontrol: % 59# find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin -name \*control | wc -l % 25 % 60# find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin -name \*config | wc -l % 13 Once 8.0-RELEASE is out, the name will be more difficult to change.
