I don't think we should touch the existing scripts. Let them be as it is and folks who are comfortable with them can contiue to use them. These scripts have been tested/bug fixed and also operations folks where these are deployed in production are used to these scripts so throwing them away doesn't make sense at all. We can write a new ctl script that covers that functionality and can live along side the older scripts. IMHO I see a single script as an improvement to what we have now and I would encourage Senaka to write one if he has the time to spare. I certainly think such a script will improve end user experiance on a unix system. However documenting the existing scripts is important and is also a useful excercise in identifying all the features that needs to be covered. This approach keeps everybody happy. Folks who are used to the older scripts in production can continue to use them. Folks who are looking for a ctl script simmillar apache2ctl will get thier wish and also documentation for the existing scripts and the new script will make things clear for the end user. I think it's a good compromise. Regards, Rajith > > -- Rob > -- Regards, Rajith Attapattu Red Hat http://rajith.2rlabs.com/
