EXAMPLES
The following is a minimal rc.d/ style script. Most scripts require l=
it-
tle more than the following.
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: foo
# REQUIRE: bar_service_required_to_precede_foo
. /etc/rc.subr
name=3D"foo"
rcvar=3D`set_rcvar`
command=3D"/usr/local/bin/foo"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
You will notice the prominent use of ":". If you feel that is in error,
please feel free to submit a PR against it.
