This is more a complaint about the existing ports infrastructure, as IMHO, it's something that should be handled there and not necessarily by "third-party" port management utilities. Some existing ports (such as smartmontools, i.e. smartd) do this, while others (such as postfix) do not. There are pros and cons to what you want. I myself have never managed to conclude if the pros outweigh the cons -- or vice-versa -- but I have thought about it before. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
