I would add a path to the logfile though and don't worry about the daemon like: > > /usr/local/sbin/ntpd start 2>&1 >/tmp/logfile > > Then you can kill it off and see what the startup looked like in the logfile. Using set -x didn't occur to me, but from a brief look at the output, it seemed to pick up (which, I guess, it shouldn't) my openntpd_flags="-s" in /etc/rc.conf. But even then, the logfile was populated with nothing more than "Starting openntpd", so I'm back to where I started. I guess I'll be filing this in my WTF notes, and call it a day.
