    yeah. thanks guys. i'm basically coming from a bsd/os background, so i
    was hoping there was something equivalent to /etc/virtualip, but that
    start_if.<dev> is close enough. so i basically wrote some thing like that
    and appended the output to that file, but i can actually have the script in
    the file itself? is that right?

    thanks
