You can simply write an rc.d script that iterates through /home/*/rc.d/* and invokes each enabled script in there as the user, using su or sudo. This will cleanly shutdown stuff for them. Whether they *should* be running their own instances is an entirely different question. VirtualHost can do a lot and with mod_vhost_alias you simplify the maintenance, while maintaining several instances complicates it. -- Mel
