Yeah.. or arguably ones of value. I still like the fact that it’s running “service <foo> stop” on /etc/rc.d scripts in reverse to shut things down cleanly, as opposed to reboot(8) which just reboots. This can make a bit of a difference if you just set up a system and still have mount points setup, etc. But in most cases, yes, I would totally agree. -Ngie
