Maybe you can find what's causing the errors for you: #!/bin/sh # PROVIDE: qpopper # REQUIRE: DAEMON . /etc/rc.subr name="qpopper" rcvar=`set_rcvar` load_rc_config $name qpopper_config=${qpopper_config:-"/usr/local/etc/qpopper.config"} qpopper_host=${qpopper_host:-"127.0.0.1"} qpopper_port=${qpopper_port:-"110"} command="/usr/local/libexec/${name}" command_args="-f ${qpopper_config} ${qpopper_host}:${qpopper_port}" required_files=${qpopper_config} run_rc_command "$1" > Also, if you reply, could you please reply-all?
