All, Need some quick clarification here on the 'preferred' (subjective, I know) method of starting local daemons at boot time, specifically, mysql and apache. Both manuals reference appending startup lines to rc.local, but the handbook mentions that rc.local has been deprecated in favor of rc.d and changes should be made in rc.conf but with the caveat that rc.conf should not be used to actually start the services. Soooo, I've got a bit of chicken vs. the egg problem here. I have a mysql.server script placed in rc.d, but I'm unsure where to call it in the startup process to actually start the server. I've also tried hacking together a startup script for apache, but it bombs horribly when I try to execute it manually for testing. Anyone care to help?
