    Hi!

    I've written an rc.d script that can start/stop/restart jails, if they
    follow a certain pattern of setup. I'm strongly considering the
    placement of this in ports or base (ports seems most appropriate).

    Basically, if you have jails in /usr/local/var/jail/<IP>, my script can
    start it up automatically, as long as the IP is reachable by `host` (I
    know, it requires a little more work to remove this dependency for
    192.168. addresses, etc).

    However, I was wondering if anyone would want to test it? All you have
    to do is take my attached script and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
    If you have your jails located somewhere else, then edit the JAILBASE=
    line in the script.

    I would appreciate any constructive criticism about this script so that
    I can make it better. If you have any improvements you make, feel free
    to send them to me as well. I'll attempt to make it better over time
    and to write a man page for it.

    Many thanks.
