Do I misuse of rc.conf.local? Yes. rc.conf.local should only set values used by other scripts. The periodic(8) scripts load the values in defaults/rc.conf, rc.conf, and if you have one, rc.local.conf. > Should I move my startup script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead? Yes. It belongs there or in rc.local (although the latter is officially depricated). And this really should have gone to -questions rather than either -security and -net. -- Crist J.
