I have spent some time over the last month or so rewriting the Arch
initscripts in idiomatic bash -- since they rely on bash-specific
features, trying to keep them fairly POSIX is rather a waste of time and
a net performance loss -- using bash-style conditionals is about 30%
faster when nothing needs to be touched on the filesystem and about 200%
easier to read, and you can use bash regexps in place of most trivial
uses of sed, grep, and awk when mangling parameters or variables -- the
fewer short-lived processes we fork the better.

You can browse changes I have made in the git repo @
http://git.fnordovax.org/arch-initscripts/log/?h=bashification and you
can checkout my changes to play around with from
git://fnordovax.org/~victor/arch-initscripts

Okay, those are LOTS of patches. I agree with most of them, but not all. However, reviewing and commenting them like this is a bit tedious - can you use git send-email to send them to this list as a patch series, so I
can comment properly?

Sure. I will do so tonight.
