Here's the current script: . /etc/rc.subr name="sguild" load_rc_config ${name} # set some defaults sguild_enable=${sguild_enable:-"NO"} sguild_conf=${sguild_conf:-"/usr/local/etc/sguild/sguild.conf"} sguild_pid=${sguild_pid:-"/var/run/sguild/sguild.pid"} sguild_flags=${sguild_flags:-"-D -P ${sguild_pid}"} sguild_user=${sguild_user:-"sguil"} command="/usr/local/bin/${name}" command_args="-c ${sguild_conf} ${sguild_flags}" procname="/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.5" start_cmd="sguild_start" sguild_start(){ echo "starting sguild." /bin/sh ${command} ${command_args} } run_rc_command "$1" When I run start, I get this: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild start starting sguild. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: unknown directive '/usr/local/bin/sguild'. Usage: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild [fast|force|one|quiet](start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll) Status and stop work fine. The "unknown directive is coming from line 913 in rc.subr: echo 1>&2 "$0: unknown directive '$rc_arg'." rc_usage $_keywords # not reached rc_arg is (fast|force|one|quiet)(start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll). This error: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: unknown directive '/usr/local/bin/sguild'. Seems to indicate that the rc.subr script thinks $0 is /usr/local/bin/sguild rather than /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild, which is odd to me. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
