====== UserScripts ======
rc-scripts-user allows users to run scripts at system startup and shutdown. 



===== how to use =====
Create ~/.config/init.d/script_name.init. It must accept one argument, it will be either "start" or "stop". Scripts must also allow "restart" and "reload" arguments, but are not required to perform any action in those cases. 



====== Sample user scripts ======
