- Try sticking a "sleep 10" command in there at the end - when the /etc/rc script
- exits, it kills all its child processes, so you need to make sure
- that all your processes have time to get rid of their parent process
- (and all your processes have to do that - they must be true daemons if
- they don't complete before returning control).
