i dont want to go with the rename option, as if tomorrow i want to add more scripts to run at startup i will be in a mess. I will tell in detail so that it would be easy for you to understand my problem :- Intention is that the script file should be called at both startup and shutdown. In Linux after doing :- 1. Copying the script to /etc/rc.d directory. 2. /sbin/chkconfig --add "scriptname" While startup scriptfile is called with parameter *start* and while shutdown it is called with parameter *stop.* So i check the parameter value in the script and if it is start , i run my executables and if it is stop i gracefully exit from my executables. I want to achie same thing in FreeBSD.
