Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple RC script to run my little Perl =
script as a daemon. The script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
portal_enable=3D${portal_enable-"NO"}
portal_flags=3D${portal_flags-""}
portal_pidfile=3D"/var/run/portald.pid"
. /etc/rc.subr
name=3D"portald"
rcvar=3D`set_rcvar`
command=3D"/home/admin/perfectportal/portald.pl &"
load_rc_config $name
pidfile=3D"${portal_pidfile}"
start_cmd=3D"echo \"Starting ${name}.\"; /usr/bin/nice -5 ${command} =
${portal_flags} ${command_args}"
stop_cmd=3D"kill `cat /var/run/portald.pid`"
run_rc_command "$1"
If I were to run this manually via=20
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/portald.sh start
it works. but in a reboot, it does not start.
Can anyone guide me where to find the error message, or (even better) =
what may be the problem? Thanks.
