Btw., this now requires a sweep over the ports tree, so those ports that install a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh file can be converted to distinguish between `start' and `stop' arguments. /etc/rc used to call these scripts with `start' for quite some time already, but the scripts usually ignore it (AFAIK). Once this is done, rc.shutdown could implement the complementary calls to /etc/rc. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
