Hi all:

I have some starting scripts under some other directories other than /etc/rc.d. How could I utilize the rc.conf file to start them when the system boots up?

The default location for rc.conf is /etc/rc.d only and the knob "local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d" doesn't seem to be working for me for some reasons
