Just a small sidenote according to your shell script: You're defining
# echo without newline necho () { echo "$*" | tr -d '\012' } Why don't you use echo -n which suppresses the newline instead of involving another program to do something that echo can do on its own? This is how FreeBSD does it in its system scripts. echo -n "Starting service... " start_service echo "done." And according to test -d /usr/bin || exit 0 # /usr not mounted Woudln't it be more compliant to exit 1 to signal an error due to /usr not being mounted? Exit code 0 is usually used to signal that no error has happened (successful program run), which isn't the case when the script is not (completely) run. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
