The documentation suggests that it *does* support doing so. The rsyncd.conf(5) manpage (referenced by the rsync(1) manpage) mentions a "pid file" option that seems to be exactly what you want. (The rsync port also installs an example rsyncd.conf into /usr/local/etc/ that sets that option.) I have never actually tried running rsync in daemon mode so I don't know if the above actually works, but it certainly seems like it should. > As a result, the rc > system is unable to determine when it's running, thus stop and > restart work poorly. > > Is there a mechanism within the rc system that can work around this > so the rc script can be improved? > > -- > Bill Moran > Collaborative Fusion Inc. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
