yeah... but lets take a look at the size of those files..

redhate root # wc -l /sbin/runscript /sbin/rc /sbin/runscript.sh
/sbin/functions.sh
      1 /sbin/runscript
    650 /sbin/rc
    529 /sbin/runscript.sh
    623 /sbin/functions.sh
   1803 total

for an embedded system... do we really need 500-600 lines of sourced
bash scripts to see a colored [ Ok ] ?

I'm not sure about the other people here, but startup times are very
crucial for my embedded platform, and on a machine with fairly limited
resources things like sourcing that much bash is going to take a long
time for each service...
