Re: proposed minimum function of /etc/init.d scripts



> -force reload?

I think we need to choose a single word for this, to minimise the script 
changes.  A single word would allow a simple chang to the case statement in 
most cases:

  -  reload )
  +  reload | rewibble )


Possibilities for ``rewibble'':

  force-reload

  revisit

or from the Oxford Thesaurus, other words for renew:

  renew
  restore
  rejuvinate
  revitalise
  reinvigorate
  resuscitate
  revamp
  redo
  recondition
  resume
  resurrect
  recommence
  restock
  reiterate
  reaffirm
  reconfirm
  restate
  reassert

I quite like ``reiterate'', since it means ``do it again'' but does not imply 
stopping in between.

Cheers, Phil.
