You can remove the first if block, but I would recommend you leave it as is - all the scripts installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d tend to run this check, so I guess for sanity's sake rc must make use of it to ensure it is running a valid script. If it really bugs you typing the full path, I guess you could try a shell alias? This will work, in sh or bash: # alias apcupsd="/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh $@" Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3D73 AF47 D448 C5CA 88B4 0DCF 849C 1C33 3C48 2CDC _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
