Putting the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and making it executable is all you want to do. In the script it should check for being passed a 'start' or a 'stop'. If you want to pass it other information or conditions, you may also want to make it to check for an environment variable which you can set in rc.conf and have your script read up (source) rc.conf. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
