Rod, the comments were not totally against the suggestion, and Poul merely he wanted to add SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF the sysV stuff my suggestion is as follows.. scripts continue as at present. rc, rc.local and we simply add an rc.d in which one can place startup scripts similar to sysV scripts (many packages come with these). the order of running would be: rc rc.d/S[01234]* start rc.local rc.d/S[56789]* start many systems have a file rc.network, which is as standard as /etc/netstart so I'm a little sorry we stayed with netstart, but the documentation argument was convincing.. > > Sorry folks, I can't deal with Poul's unilateral dictator ship any longer. I think this is such a small thing it doesn't require such heated discussion.. it requires adding a few lines to each script and creating the directory.. packages that want to use it can those that don't can use rc.local... > > If we can't have decisions made by the group instead of ``what Poul wants'' > I am out of here. The discussion hasn't been "everybody vs poul", and I thonk a compromise should be possible... julian
