Ok, thanks for the info, I read the page, and I wrote a script that I believe will suit my purposes, but I don't know how to test that. (you know, debug it, if you will). Also, I have no directory or file named rc.d so I just made a file named rc.d and put the script into it. Should rc.d be a directory with scripts in it? Does FreeBSD already know to use this directory at start up when I create it? Sorry for the basic questions, but after reading the man pages, and the urls (thanks bye the way!) I am still a little confused. Thanks for all the help! Terry.
