The attached shell script works similar to sysctl(8), but rather than querying or working on sysctl MIBs, it instead works on the /etc/rc.conf (and /etc/rc.conf.local) files. Have you looked at textproc/augeas? It's a more generic and extensible way to edit plain text configuration files programmatically using an xpath like syntax. Example # augtool get /files/etc/rc.conf/sshd_enable /files/etc/rc.conf/sshd_enable = YES # printf 'set /files/etc/rc.conf/sshd_enable NO\nsave\n' | augtool # augtool get /files/etc/rc.conf/sshd_enable /files/etc/rc.conf/sshd_enable = NO The tool itself is written in C and has no external dependencies. It is taught file grammar via "lenses" which are like formal language specs written in BNF. http://augeas.net/ -- Russell A Jackson Network Analyst California State University, Bakersfield ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Don't FUD. Nothing stops anyone from making money off GPL'ed software.
