Not the way to do it at all. ;-)
(assuming /opt/splunk*/bin is in your path)
# splunk enable boot-start
This installs the script below as /etc/rc.d/splunk. You then merely
need to put splunk_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf
Questions like this are better answered by searching the splunk FAQs,
etc. Lots of good info there.
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: splunkd
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown
# /etc/rc.d/splunk
# init script for Splunk.
# generated by 'splunk enable boot-start'.
. /etc/rc.subr
name=splunk
extra_commands="status"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
eval "${rcvar}=\${${rcvar}:-'NO'}"
splunk_start()
{
"${splunk_home:-/opt/splunkforwarder}/bin/splunk" start
--no-prompt --answer-yes "$@"
}
