 i want to know how to stop a service from a script
 this is the sample script to stop and start a service in linux,when i kept
 faststart then starting a service is working in freebsd similarly i want to

 start|--start | faststart)
 do_start

 stop|--stop)

The easy way to do this is to fit it into FreeBSD's rc.d system, which
is slightly different in detail than the way Linux does such things.

You might want to start with man rc.d.

If you want to write  a script like this you can just give it a .sh
extension and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. There's more in the rc
manpage if you want to do it the modern way.

However, if your script is in /etc/rc.d (which is intended for system
rcng scripts) and is getting  faststart, but not faststop, then I'd be
interested to know. This has broken for me in the last week or so, and
I'd like to know whether it's a bug or a local problem.
