I am trying to figure out how a particular application is launched at boot up. My question is not how to do it, but how someone else managed to do it on my FreeBSD box for me. The application is the RealVideo server. It is installed and works fine. I just cannot see how they got it automatically start at boot up. The application is called 'pnserver'. To start it manually, I would use the following command... /usr/local/pnserver/bin/pnserver /usr/local/pnserver/server.cfg ... the running process looks like this... ps -wuax . 354 0.0 1.4 1908 868 ?? Ss 24Oct99 18:24.56 /usr/local/pnserver/bin/pnserver /usr/local/pnserver/server.cfg . I have grep'd for pnserver in every file in my /etc directory but there is no indication that there is any reference to the pnserver or ANYTHING remotely related, in any file! I assumed it would be in a rc.* file (most probably, rc.local), but there is no trace of anything related in there. Is there some other way that applications are automatically launched?
