You should be using service(8) script since it does The Right Thing(tm). Apache will be started in more-or-less same environment that was used during boot time. (My personal opinion is that startup scripts should prepare such environment on their own unless explicitly told otherwise, and by environment I mean more that 'environment' variables.) If this is a bug or not I cannot say. /etc/rc.subr contains lines like: SYSCTL="/sbin/sysctl" ID="/usr/bin/id" for few tools, rest is assumed to work with provided PATH. To sum up, use service(8) and you will be fine. -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com>
