Erik;
Thanks for fixing the docs and getting back to me.
I saw in the code that you're taking pains to append to the end of the
list as you read a config file, and re-ordered my config file.
I guess I'm still getting used to busybox. I'm also a "use init to
restart things" type of person rather than the ... err... unfortunate
/etc/rc.d/blah/blah/blah hierarchy of chewy nightmarish scripts now used
by many distros and commercial Unixes.
Thanks Erik.
