I considered that but had to stick to ps(1) because pgrep was in /usr/bin while ps was in /bin. The use of /usr/bin tools should be very limited in rc.subr(8). OTOH, pgrep uses /lib libs only, which makes it possible to transfer pgrep+pkill to /bin if we can stand the growth of / by some 50 kbytes. -- Yar _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
