Message-ID: <19991211210027.A20861@capsi.cx> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i X-Operating-System: Linux 7of9 2.2.13 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I am porting a Linux program to FreeBSD. The program's functionality relies on two start-up files: rc.local --> starts the daemon in the background rc.S/sysinit --> creates a timestamp on startup It's very important for the way the program functions that creating the timestamp during startup only happens ONCE, no matter if runlevels are switched, etc etc. I have found rc.local, is there a FreeBSD equivalent to this rc.S or rc.sysinit file and what is it? Would it also work on different *BSD's or not?
