Sorry for leaping into this late, (and consequently getting the
wrong people on the To: line), but what's the "90's" way of handling
the genuinely script-like things in /etc? I can see how a unified
parameter/value store would be a great advance for most things,
but how do you do:
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.foo, the script that is executed by the !bg
line at the bottom of your ppp.linkup file.
/etc/{daily,weekly,monthly}
?
