That's the default so you should omit this line. > startupitem.executable "${prefix}/sbin/netatalk -d -F ${prefix}/etc/afp.conf" Per guide.macports.org: Do not wrap values in quotes if passing arguments to the daemon; “executable” StartupItem elements must be tagged individually so the spaces between arguments serve as delimiters for “string” tags. > startupitem.pidfile auto /var/run/netatalk.pid We usually put these inside ${prefix} but since you're using an executable not a script you don't need a pidfile at all.
