I have something partly sketched out, but
it still needs some work. I can
send you something in the next
couple of days to look at.
I see two awkward issues:
* Is it necessary to distinguish 'stop'
(unconditional stop) from 'shutdown'
(stop only if enabled)??
Seems that at system shutdown you want
everything to be taken down, regardless
of whether it was brought up at boot
or brought up manually post-boot.
The unconditional 'stop' seems to be
all that's needed.
* Local rc scripts (in /usr/local/etc/rc.d)
will still get run with a 'start'
argument, while system scripts in
/etc/rc.d will get a 'boot' argument.
That's a bit awkward, but still
reasonably consistent: 'start'
is still an unconditional operation.
I don't see any way around this without
breaking existing systems after upgrade.
