What were you trying to do?
Update my workstation to 7.3, including having all of my
private customization scripts (which are started by a main
script in /site/server/.private) run as part of the update.
What's wrong:
Several daemons, including named, are killed when the update
is started. My .private script expects named (and possibly
others) to be running when it runs, because it needs to use
name service. This was not a problem in the past.
What should have happened:
Either the services that are killed should be restarted before
running /site/customize/.private, or the fact that certain
daemons might not be running when /site/customize/.private is
run by mkserv should be documented (as far as I know, it is
not). I would prefer the former solution.
