The start|stop hack is only temporary and its purpose is just helping the users to migrate to the next step. And IMHO making separate scripts for startup/stop has its own demerits. One would be scattering the two tightly coupled jobs into several places. Regards, Eugene On Sat, 8 Jul 2000, Andrey A. Chernov wrote: | On Sat, Jul 08, 2000 at 12:29:24PM -0700, Eugene M.
