This one has me a bit puzzled. I just setup a freebsd 4.10 release install for use as a gaming server. I want to run Enemy Territory on startup.

I created a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/  that contains the following:

#!/bin/sh
cd "/compat/linux/usr/games/et"
./etded.x86 \+set ttycon 0 +exec server.cfg  > /dev/null 2>&1
exit \


The problem is that this script will hang up the autoboot rc processes. In order for the game to work, stderr and stdout need to be redirected. As far as i know, i got that part working and directing the /dev/null I think the problem is with keyboard input. I haven't figured out a way to redirect stdin to /dev/null or something similar. I suspect thats what is holding up autoboot. I'm certainly no expert at shell scripting. is there a way to redirect stdin, stderr, and stdout so that the game will load automatically? Preferably I'd like to alter this so i don't have to start the extra /bin/sh process, but i really don't care if it has to be there to get the game to run.


Thanks in advance.
