Dear Petter,

That is true.
The factorization of kill and start scripts in two dedicated functions 
(to not duplicate the code: one call to count the number of scripts, one 
call to execute them) will probably make diff  show a lot of lines 
anyway - I understand your point and can do nothing else but agree.
I'll have another look but if I do not post again a patch that's because 
I could not make it smaller.

No, with splashutils only. The $debug in front of the usplash_write will 
show very well what happens, and I believe this must work with usplash 
as well. Can somebody in your team do this thest?
Anyway you have a point; this must be tested.
I'll see what I can do in here (I have to install usplash; why not! I'll 
be happy to test it).

Cheers, JD.
