To properly use this system, just set the appropriate config variables in /etc/rc.conf. That hasn't changed. > I like to integrate my scripts with the system so I would like to learn > this new stuff Doing your own scripts works just like it used to. Either put things in /etc/rc.local - which is depreciated - or put scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The latter scripts need to end in ".sh" and be executable. They should accept an argument of "start" to start things, and "stop" to stop things. > so please if anyone could point me to some kind of doc/info I'll > appreciate it I don't know of any docs, and the info I'm using is the shell scripts proper. You might ask on -current if you want more information than I've provided. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
