You can answer that question for yourself by asking how many times a new rc.d script will be written, vs. how many times it will be called at boot time. You seem very focused on the idea of "consistency." I already pointed out that if that's a primary concern than the right answer is to change all uses of $name to point to the literal value, and I'm happy to do that if people agree that it's a good idea. Otherwise, we should probably move on to other things. Another way to ask the same question, why does the maxim "The one who is willing to do the work gets to determine how the work will be done" apply to everyone in the project except me? :) Doug -- You can observe a lot just by watching. -- Yogi Berra Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
