There are no knobs in rc.conf for the applications you mentioned. Rc.conf does not have internal check to verify you have correct statements. So having apache_enable="YES" in rc.conf does nothing and issues no error message telling you it is invalid. All ports are started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Freddie Cash Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 12:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Manually starting RCng scripts disabled in rc.conf Is it possible to manually run an rcNG-style script with app_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf? For instance, there are a few services that I don't want running all the time on my laptop (like Apache, Squid, DansGuardian) but that I need running now and then for development / testing purposes. As such, I have apache_enable="NO" in my rc.conf to prevent Apache from starting at boot time. However, this also means that I cannot manually start Apache when I need it running, unless I use apachectl or run the httpd binary directly. And I can't use the RCng script to check the status, or restart, or any of the other nice things that RCng gives me. It would be much simpler/nicer if I could use the rcNG script to do this. Am I missing something simple, or is it just not possible to do what I want? I'd like to use the rc.d scripts to control everything, but if I have to enable them all in rc.conf and then manually stop them after each boot, I'll most likely end up writing my own non-RCng wrapper scripts for each app. :( Please CC: me as I'm not subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
