You would use /usr/local/etc/rc.d and simply create a startup script to start the service. For eg if you wanted to start apache, you would create apache.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the following: [ -x /usr/local/sbin/apachectl ] && /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start > /dev/null && echo -n ' apache' Cheers, Marc On Wed, Jun 14, 2000 at 08:27:34AM -0500, Drew Sanford wrote: > If I want to start something that isn't listed in rc.conf the way, say > named is, how would I go about doing that automagically at boot time? > With snmpd for example, would I add something like > > /usr/local/sbin/snmpd > > to rc.conf, or am I way off track?
