I don't know about the rest of your questions, but unexec is a lot like exec, except it's done when the package/patch is removed, instead of when it's installed. Mtree, I would guess, invokes mtree(8) on a file in /etc/mtree, but I don't actually know. Have a look at the mtree(8) man page. -- Ray Kohler What is mind? No matter. What is matter?
