Hi
In the man pages for rc it says:
"The best way to handle rc.local, however, is to separate it
out into rc.d/ style scripts and place them under
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/."
So I created an rc.d style script for my own service and stuck it in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/. It does not have a .sh on the end as it should
run in a subshell as detailed in the rc man page. I also added
myscript_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf.local
I can run my script by hand and it works. But when I boot it does not
even try and run my script.
How do you get rc.d style scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ to run at
boot time?
Thanks
Chad
