the idea is to modify /etc/rc to not start stuff in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
blindly,
and just 'extrapolate' rc.conf.
you can still start/stop the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh to your heart content,
i didn't propose changing them, though modifying mysql-server.sh to
mysql_server.sh would make things easier :-)
i agree, there is nothing more boring than waiting for linux to come up, or
windows, but there is a real problem to solve if one has several boxes sharing
/usr/local and you don't (i certainly don't want) all of them starting as mysql
servers or whatever happens to be there.
btw, the check for xxx_enable can also enable/disable by say, ${local_enable_check}
or something, so that the default/old behaviour is kept.
one of the things that i liked most about unix, was that it didn't have to
be backward compatible (heh, i've been around that long?)
