Hi, I have a program that I would like to control via a rc script, say /usr/local/etc/rc.d/myprog problem is this program needs to be put explicitly in background. I was playing with things like command="/usr/sbin/daemon /usr/local/bin/myprog" but this obviously works only for the start case. Should I just override start() completely or is there a common way to do it? I don't think I can simply pass a "&" somewhere... thanks marco
