    Now thats a very good point indeed.
    However, if for some reason (ex. power surge) the system is kicked
    down, i always have to do a `mysqlcheck -uxxx -pxxx -A` and pray
    i don't have to do a drop/create / mysql db < /backup/db.sql

    (note: cron backup 2 times a days keeps bad karma away)

    BUT..... when i do a `reboot` ... i never ever had any corruption...
    Which leaves me 2 options. Correct me if i'm wrong.

    1: If a deamon makes a pid file, it wil be stopped anyway..... ?
    2: The `reboot` sync's the fs, so i was lucky no corruption ever happend due
    reboot.

    Either way, i'll use the rc.shutdown also from now on :)
