    Dude (or Dudette), where's my script?

    OK, now I just feel like a tard.

    I wrote my first basic script.

    I dropped it in rc0.d so it would execute on shut down and reboot.

    I was doing some system modifications that required reboot and I didn't want the script to run so I renamed it to what I *thought* would keep it from running but leave it in place so I could come back and "fix" it when I was ready for it to run again.

    It's not in rc0.d anymore.

    It has now "disappeared".

    I can't find it anywhere on my system.

    It is still executing on shut down and reboot.

    Where did my friggin script go?

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    It was one of those "learning experiences". Yuck!

    The naming convention I used, which I thought would stop it form executing, just made it hidden instead and did not stop it from executing.

    Since it was hidden and I didn't think to look for hidden files in the GUI or TTY I couldn't "see" it.

    DOH!
