Actually, the point is that writing TONS of scripts to get your work done (that's what Linux world does) always pissed me off. You have a shell script that is in fact a wrapper for another shell script, and like this in turn it goes on and on and on again. Icky! :-) I don't like how Linux smells. Why can't I simply write kill -1 `cat /var/run/sendmail.pid`? I don't consider it being sagnificantly longer than writing /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart. After all, if your typing speed is good enough, it doesn't really matter whether you type in 30 or 20 chars. -- JMHO, DAN Fe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
