Hello Mike,

Thanks for the quick response. During mergemaster, I am pretty sure no critical
file changed. I may swear this and be proved wrong though/


What I need to find out is which file controls the starting of the scripts in rc.d/

The first clue I have about all this is that I realized that mysql-server.sh
refused to start. When I attempted to start it manually the system complained that
there was "&&" that was unexpected. So I am wondering whether the syntax for /bin/sh
has changed??? There has never been a probem with these scripts before. They cannot
all develop a problem at once, and furthermore they are the default startup scripts
that come with apps installed from the ports.

The bad thing about all this is that once I was over with mergemaster, I blew away
the backup etc :-(
