Here's what I was seeing that led me to that conclusion: rukey$ ps aux | grep authmail root 51889 0.0 0.1 724 568 p0- Ip Fri12AM 0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/authmail jacob 25510 0.0 0.2 272 892 p0 S+p 10:36AM 0:00.01 grep authmail rukey$ pgrep -f /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/authmail 51889 rukey$ pgrep -xf /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/authmail However, I didn't think to quote it. that seems to fix it: rukey$ pgrep -xf "/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/authmail" 51889 It appears that rc.subr uses quotes, but: rukey# pgrep -xf "/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/authmail" 51889 rukey# rcctl check authmail authmail(failed) rukey# Any idea what could be going wrong here? Thanks, Jacob
