You can put a System-V style script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and the startup scripts of FreeBSD in /etc will take care of running it when the system boots. Note that the "upgrade procedure" does not usually touch /etc if you are updating your system with CVSup, and recompiling the world. You have to update your /etc manually, which means that you can also put any changes you like in /etc/rc and take care when upgrading. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> For my public pgp2 key: finger -l keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
