I also prefer .sh for shell extensions, but it's only a preference,
there's no inherent meaning to the extension in *nixes, which I'm
mentioning in case anybody misunderstands that this fixed something.

On a vaguely related note, the FHS restricts /etc to static configuration
files, so this properly belongs in the /usr hierarchy, for example, under
/usr/local/bin.  Like extensions, the FHS is just a set of guidelines, and
failure to adhere to it doesn't result in any functional problems, of
course.

For the record, pingpath can appear in local machine settings as well,
though the script doesn't cause any harm to run globally.

My choice of wakeonlan was partly arbitrary, since it happened to be handy
for my distro, but I don't really like the idea of maintaining
/etc/ethers.
