Both methods (/etc/rc.local vs. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/PROGRAM.sh) work
equally well. Here's what I put in a file called apache.sh in my
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ directory a few days back when I installed apache
at home:
% ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 263 Apr 20 19:15 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh
% cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
echo -n ' apache'
/home/httpd/bin/apachectl start 2>&1 >/dev/null ||\
echo -n ':FAILED'
;;
stop)
echo -n ' apache'
/home/httpd/bin/apachectl stop 2>&1 >/dev/null ||\
echo -n ':FAILED'
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
;;
esac
Your script has to be executable by root and have an extension of .sh
for the boot scripts to pick it up and run it automatically at boot
and shutdown time. I think this is written in the Handbook. If it
isn't, then it's a bug and please let me know what part you were
reading so it can be fixed :-)
