You can write your own rc.d script and save it in `/usr/local/etc/rc.d'. We have a very good guide about the internals of the rc.d scripts now, which you can read online at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/rc-scripting/ A sample `svnserve' script could be as simple as: #!/bin/sh . /etc/rc.subr name="svnserve" rcvar=`set_rcvar` command="/usr/sbin/${name}" start_precmd="${name}_prestart" pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid" svnserve_prestart() { rc_flags="--pidfile ${pidfile} ${rc_flags}" return 0 } load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1" Note that I haven't tested this, but something like this should be all it takes to let you start or stop `svnserve' by adding in your local `/etc/rc.conf.local' file: svnserve_enable='YES' svnserve_flags='-d -R --listen-port 9000' Have a look at the `rc-scripting' article, try it out and let us know how things worked out :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
