Add sysctl for apps is a no-no, sysctl is for system control, not userland control. The rc.conf is not for that neither, it has system wide configuration, not app specific config. The best solution (for me) is leave sh untouched without this functionality. Fork it and make a sh++ port with this (and more) functionality , install it and use it. Is it really too much work to change your default (non-root) shell? I use zsh f.ex. Take care, if you start the system in rescue mode or singleuser mode, will the new "hook" feature search the unmounted partitions for ports info? will it connect to internet for that? will fail miserably? > <mike L ---------------------------------------------- Si la vida te da la espalda, ¡tocale el culo!
