i've written an rcNG script but i'm having some issues.
Step one: set rc_debug="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to see what's
actually happening when you attempt to run your script. That
seems to uncover about 95% of the problems I've had.
turned on the option rc_debug="YES" and ran 'dmesg -a'... the
script doesn't even show up in the list anywhere. are we not
supposed to be able to write custom rcNG scripts? is there
something i'm overlooking where i need to register httpd_start in
the rc stuff? here's my newbie impression of how rc works:
- rc i run by init
- rc runs rcorder on all script directories.
- rc reads rc.conf and runs all scripts found by rcorder
rcorder recognizes the script i wrote without any errors... yet
when i boot the system, there is no "checkyesno" for httpd_start.
there's nothing that references the script at all... WHY? >.<
why did FreeBSD have to adopt this standard anyhow? it seems
unnecessarily complicated to write custom scripts now.
Where does your script live? You can use rcNG style scripts in /usr/
local/etc but they must end in .sh and are done in lexographic order
without the rcorder and stuff (unless you write your own ueber-
script to do it)
I battled this for a long while before I figured out the /usr/local/
etc does not get full rcNG support
