>Description:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/swatch.sh status does not find running swatch since rc.subr is trying to match procname with name


>How-To-Repeat:
procname needs to be set to /usr/local/bin/perl in order for rc.subr to find it:

example:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/swatch.sh status
swatch is not running.

cat /pid:
72676

ps -auxwwp 72676
USER   PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ   RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
root 72676  0.0  1.1  6596  5876  ??  Is    5:44AM   0:00.03 /usr/local/bin/perl /tmp/.swatch_script.72674

>Fix:
fix:

add procname=/usr/local/bin/perl to swatch.sh:

./swatch.sh status
swatch is running as pid 72676
