In order to manually call up apache.sh in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory, you have to use the full path to the script. If you: cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d ./apache.sh start it should complain and error out. but if you did: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start things should go as planned. That's, at least, if you wanna do it manually (to either stop or start a service that has a shell script in there). -gerry _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
