I like it, but there are two points where it can be improved (that I can see): * It is important to make it clear at which point in the system startup these scripts are executed (after all other rc(8) stuff, only in multiuser, right? If I'm wrong, all more of a reason to specify so :). * A comment to the effect that the scripts are executed in ASCII order (I don't recall how to say that nicely :) at startup, and reverse at shutdown, and hint that one can prefix certain scripts with digits to enforce their ordering. -- Daniel C.
