I installed a software named "urchin" on my FBSD 7.2 box. Unfortunately, it didn't come with an rc.d script to automate startup and shutdown. And even more unfortunately, I can't seem to get my head around the concepts in "Practical rc.d scripting in BSD" (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/rc-scripting/rcng-daemon.html). This is the command that starts the app: /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl And here are the options: Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action where: -v prints out the version of urchinctl -h prints out this information -e activates encryption (SSL) in the webserver -s performs the action on the Urchin scheduler ONLY -w performs the action on the Urchin webserver ONLY -p specifies the port for the webserver to listen on action is either: start, stop, restart, or status start: starts the webserver and scheduler stop: stops the webserver and scheduler restart: stops and then starts the webserver and scheduler status: prints out whether the webserver and scheduler are running By default, the action is performed on both the webserver and the schedulers unless the -s or -w options are specified All I want to do is create a script within the rc.d framework that runs "/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start" when the system boots and "/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop" when the system shuts down. Following the examples in the guide mentioned above, here is my attempt at that file: #!/bin/sh # PROVIDE: urchin # REQUIRE: NETWORKING # KEYWORD: shutdown # # Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable urchin: # urchin_enable="YES" (bool): Set to "NO" by default. # Set it to "YES" to enable urchin. . /etc/rc.subr name="urchin" rcvar=`set_rcvar` command="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl " eval "${rcvar}=\${${rcvar}:-'NO'}" load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1" I have also ensured that 'urchin_enable="YES"' is in /etc/rc.conf. However when I run the rc.d script, the urchinctl appears to run but doesn't like whatever arguments that are passed. See this output: urchin# ./urchin-server start Starting urchin. Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action <snipped rest of options already shown above> I'm sure I'm missing some simple concept. I'd really appreciate a kick in the right direction.
