"Userland" startup scripts (ie: the ones created by the admin) go in: /usr/local/etc/rc.d
Create a shell script, for this example: apache.sh and then chmod 755 it. Note: The files HAVE to be called something.sh and they HAVE to be chmod 755 otherwise they don't work. Note: Use the apachectl script to start and stop apache. Just had a thought.. I haven't used Apache 2 yet..so don't know if this will work..but I do the below for Apache 1.3 ... so it should be something similar In the file do something like this: START SCRIPT EXAMPLE #!/bin/sh #Script for starting and stapping apache #Grab our command mode=$1 # start or stop case "$mode" in 'start') # Start daemon /path/to/apachectlscript/apachectl start ;; 'stop') #Stop daemon /path/to/apachectlscript/apachectl stop ;; *) # usage echo "usage: $0 start|stop" exit 1 ;; esac END SCRIPT EXAMPLE Hope that helps :) Henrik On Thursday 25 July 2002 03:27, Erik Mattsson wrote: > Hi > > I've just installed the apache2 from /usr/ports/www, and I want this to run > everytime when I reboot the machine.
