Bad? Indifferent? I'd say: more complicated than the job requires. We have a *simpler* tool for managing graphs: tsort(1). If you go back to the process I suggested, you need only tsort the dependencies and save it in /var/run. It is then available for use to stop selected components. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, R.W.
