I've tried the general list without success. I'm hoping this list can help
me.
I've written a very simple rc script using the new format and rc.subr. The
script works fine from the commandline
(start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll), but when the server is rebooted,
the script fails to start the daemon. There are no errors in
/var/log/messages or in the extractor.log file, and the daemon is too
simplistically written to have a debug or verbose switch. Any ideas what
the problem could be?
Here's the necessary details:
