I thought I was completely lost in this discussion, until this article hit me like a lightning bolt.... * From: Jon Loeliger <jdl@chrome.onramp.net> * Well, I think these issues point to the more generalized problem * of simply representing the "dependency graph". All of the file number * schemes and the single control file schemes are implementations of * the general concepts of linearizing a dependency graph. Yes, *dependency graphs*! This was what we were all arguing about! And the Unix way of handling dependency graphs are...yes, "make"! Can it get any simpler than an /etc/rc.d/Makefile?!? :) Ok, so who's going to write bsd.rc.mk? (Me? :) Satoshi
