I'd propose a "rcadm" command like Solaris' svcadm, so you do not need to care about if the rc script is in /etc/rc.d or in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. And it would be safer to check if the service is already listed in rc.conf, so it doesn't get appended every time you enable a service. --1BKOZKwX7DAU5odC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkibWIoACgkQKc512sD3afgyCACgosC0rwzA0195Ir9aU+8pWDqC fgkAoK93sY8oWmEu4yIf5pjdp1PF8OER =OyVn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1BKOZKwX7DAU5odC--
