I'm not convinced it needs to be done. It's not really a critical
feature, and very few people seem to miss it. It makes a lot more
sense as a port that the few people who miss it can install. I've
already got the script; I just want to make sure I don't do the work
of turning it into a port only to have this thing committed.
The script is so trivial I use it as an example of how to do rc.d
scripts on -questions.
