If the start/stop arguments are coded in a backwards compatible fashion, there should be no difference. For startup, I can see no reason why there should be any difference at all [1]. As for shutdown, ports that have been fine so far without doing anything at shutdown should just ignore the "stop" arg, IMHO. Only processes that really need a clean shutdown should do anything when given the "stop" argument. $.02, /Mikko 1) Ok, make that "hardly any difference" -- the rc scripts will be a few lines longer and contain an extra conditional of some sort, so they might be slightly slower ... :) -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
