Ah, ok. > Thanks for the pointers - I will add a daemon class to login.conf. There's already a daemon class in the stock login.conf. You can play with that or copy it to a new one for www, nginx, or whatever you like. Then change your rc.local to use su -c <class>. > Like with the MySQL examples [1] should I restart nginx through a > shellscript as well ? > (Per documentation it is adviced to restart nginx with 'kill -HUP pid') 'kill -HUP pid' will not work for this. You kill need to 'kill pid' to terminate it completely, then start it fresh. Otherwise the new login class will not be applied. If you do that with a script or by hand is up to you. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG dwchand...@stilyagin.com | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
