And if you think that the rc.d mechanism used so commonly today is an improvement or so great try answering the following common question: "what letter/number/name should I make my rc file to start up X? Which rc directory should it go under?" Such mechanisms are a huge step backwards and unbelievably fragile.

It is interesting that Sun also came to the same conclusion, and replaced it with their Service Management Framework (SMF) in Solaris 10. Has anyone compared launchd with SMF? Is there anything SMF does better than launchd? Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
