Oh potentially helpful openbsd-misc, I have written a Python script that takes the output of tcpdump from pflog0, does some processing on it, and sends it to my monitoring infrastructure for eventual output into Graphite graphs.
I can run the script just fine via the command line, but when I begin to tie it into rc.d to start upon machine reboot and for easier process control, it appears to fail. The rc.d script itself is nothing involving rocket science: https://gist.github.com/4576625 Merely start and background itself. But when I attempt to start the daemon via "/etc/rc.d/pfloggraphite start" I see the following output: # ./pfloggraphite start pfloggraphite(failed) # ./pfloggraphite check # echo $? 1 One thing to note, is that the (failed) shows up after 5-10 seconds, not immediately. But the issue is that the Python script itself is actually running on the machine. Only rc.d claims it has failed. I have read the rc.d and rc.subr man pages but perhaps am missing an import detail in my rc.d file or script itself. Anyone able to shed some light? Cheers, Jeff
