I'm in the process of (re)writing an rc.d script for kadmind (security/krb5). Unlike the main Kerberos daemon, kadmind needs to have a separate instance for each realm on the server -- it can't support multiple realms in a single process. What I need to be able to do: 1) Have different flags and pidfiles for each instance. 2) Be able to start, stop, restart, and status each individual instance by giving its name on the command line. 3) Have all instances start/stop automatically when a specific instance isn't specified. I've looked around for examples of good practice to emulate, and haven't found much. The closest to what I want looks to be vboxheadless, but I'm uncomfortable with the amount of mechanism from rc.subr that it needs to reimplement. Are there any better examples? -GAWollman
