# Here is my view on this matter:
# 
	From my (user's) point of view:

# I belive the scripts should support three arguments:
# 	start
# 	stop
# 	restart

	Bravo!
# 
# I belive we need to scan multiple directories, and support the following
# semi-hardcoded paths:
# 
# 	/etc/rc.d
# 		for the root's own hacks and for major startup tasks
# 		("sh /etc/rc.d/nfs restart" would be a wonderful thing....)

	Bravo!
# 
# 	/etc/pkg/rc.d
# 		for installed packages startup tasks

	As 99% of packages are in /usr/local subtree, any reason to avoid
	/usr/local/etc/rc.d ?

# 
# 	/etc/X11/rc.d
# 		for X11 related startup tasks.

	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/rc.d ? or maybe
	/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d ?

# 
# It should all be under /etc because the security goes south if we are not
# very careful.
# 
# And that's all folks...
