What I'm concerned about is what is passed to rc.local when a shutdown is
issued, or when a start-up happens. It doesn't appear that the rc files
deal only with startup, and they don't seem to follow the Linux directive
of start/stop/restart.

So I could stick something in that may start regardless. A system shutdown
occurs, and it starts another webserver, which isn't desireable. If you
could tell me what is going to be passed during reboots, and cold starts
I'd be set.

Thanks,
