To be SystemV-ish is a bit more > than to have this confusing init-file structure. It's not that confusing, if you'd just take 10 minutes to understand it. And btw, FreeBSD gives you the same thing. If you look in your sysconfig, it references /usr/local/etc/rc.d and /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d, where you can put startup files. The files must end in .sh. I use them for everything now, instead of /etc/rc.local. It gives you much more flexability to stop and start packages. Oh, I'm not defending linux. I've never used it and don't know much about it. I'm a BSD guy at heart, and Solaris now. -- Paul T.
