You might wanna check the -dev mailing list to be sure, but I'm almost certain that they'll tell you this is a no-no. Generally speaking ebuilds should build/install packages and not affect the system in ways like starting/killing processes. A simple ELOG message is the preferred method. Nevertheless, the -dev list is probably the better forum to answer your question. -- Albert W. Hopkins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
