I wouldn't kill myself if you did that, but I wouldn't think it a great
idea. :-)

Basically, you _don't_ need to run the linux ldconfig every time you
load the linux kld -- only every time you install new linux libraries.

So the only thing that the script scores you is that you type

	linux

instead of

	kldload linux
.

:-)

Unless I managed to horribly cock up my investigations into the linux
ldconfig, I can't see why you want that shell script, when a shell alias
will do the job a lot better. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
