It seems that not every port that installs rc.d startup scripts includes methods to not only startup, but also shutdown and/or restart, where appropriate. (Sent to -ports for ports hackers' opinions.) Shouldn't this sort of thing be standardized? And maybe a similar method be integrated into /etc/rc for restarting base system daemons? (Sent to -current for src hackers' opinions.) Please continue specific discussion on either of these in their own list, or if reply is general Cc both. -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
