For 4000 scripts I would not be surprised if there were problems with glob expansion, but that should not happen for a mere 400 scripts. > > Although old style scripts SHOULD work if it ends in .sh and is executable. > > According to my reading of rc.subr - if they end in .sh they will be sourced > in the current shell, otherwise they will be sourced in a subshell.. Dunno if > that is affecting things (see run_rc_script) By my reading of rc.subr, that is only true for scripts in /etc/rc.d/ The scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ are started by /etc/rc.d/localpkg and are always run in a subshell. Old style scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ should work just the same as before. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
