The initialisation of programs and daemons are using different mechanisms on SysV and BSD. Some Signals are defined differently or there are more defined on one platform than the other. The best way to see differences though is to compare the two by actually using them. Linux is more SysV orientated while FreeBSD is ehm, well, BSD ;) --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven join #FreeBSD on Undernet asmodai(at)wxs.nl Time is merely a residue of Reality...
