IIRC, the systems > whines on this sort of script, although starting the daemon. It whines at shutdown, not startup, if the string 'stop' does not exist somewhere in the script. The problem is that the rc.d scripts should be called at shutdown too to properly halt services that need the warning. But since many old scripts assume that they are only called at startup, you could end up starting a second instance of your service right before they are all killed by init. And that might not be a Good Thing. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@alum.mit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
