that many, eh...

perhaps you're running into a shell command line limit somewhere  
which does something like

foreach i (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh)

and having that glob expansion blowing up in the shell.

not sure the solution other than having one script that reads a  
config file and does the multiple startups.
