The better option for a manual start is onestart, which simply bypasses the test for the option being enabled but still fails on any other error (missing dependencies, startup problems etc).

Use forcestart/forcestop instead of start/stop when running the rc script if you do not have it enabled in rc.conf.

For more info > you may look at the script you are trying to start. So are you saying I can't start a script manually without enabling it in rc.conf? I was not under that impression...

Manually running port installed rc scripts is not working manually. I'm trying mysql, courier-imap, and I've tried isc-dhcp in the past. None of these will work when run manually- even on different machines and bsd versions (all 6.x).
