Hello
Im having problems again with this message when im booting. I get
several messages like this:
This: not found



Every time I see that it's because of missing '#' at the beginning of
the line in a shell script (to mark the line as a comment).



About 8 or so of them just before it asks me for my login. It has
happened before, but i was working with a rather shaky install as i
wasnt sure what i was doing, well at least i was more unsure then
than i
am now :)
So im just wondering where i would look to see where its trying to find
"This"?



I'd look at starting scripts first. Something like:

    # ls /etc/rc.d/* | xargs grep "This"
    # ls /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* | xargs grep "This"

and see if there's a line starting with 'This' without a '#' at the
beginning somewhere.



I have done this now and not found anything without the # ... is there
anywhere else I should look?


How about /etc/rc.conf file?

Hmmm... I had previously looked in my rc.conf and noticed the last line had a comment starting on it... i moved it down but kept searching as I didnt believe this to be the problem... But I just rebooted after you suggested the rc.conf... and, the This: not found are all gone!
My last uncommented line looked like (rc.conf):
usbd_enable="YES"# This file contains....
I didnt think it would be causing it, but it seems it was... just wondering why it would display 7 or 8 times?
Anyway - got it sorted and thank you very much!

If not there does 'grep -r This /etc' shows something useful?

And just to be clear look for exact word: 'This' or 'this' depending
on the situation (I'm not sure because you wrote it differently in the
email subject and body).
