As I understand it, local scripts that contain a "# PROVIDE" line are integrated into rcorder, local scripts that don't have that line, but end in .sh, are executed from /etc/rc.d/localpkg in the old-style. AFAIK local scripts that have neither are ignored. So in short, a user script that simply responds to start/stop needs to go /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, and it does need a .sh extension. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
