Yup, great idea. The new patch [attached] permits you to set:
DAEMON_ask_timeout={0-9}[s|m|h]
and
DAEMON_ask_default=[yes|no]
in rc.conf
Default values have been put in rc.subr ("5s" and "yes")

This could be done, but at the moment I rely on the checkyesno
subroutine in rc.subr, which only accepts [yes, true, on, 1] and [no,
false, off, 0] in any combination of upper and lower case.

Hello, looks good (and works on my FBSD6.1), in general i like the idea but some more feature would be nice. There should be an tiemout so that the system boots even if I forget to choose (for example if I want to connect to the system by remote, and sshd isn´t startet yet). E.g. something like a global ASK_DELAY="sec" default set to 3sec or so, and adjustable by the variable. (and maybe adjustable for every demon individual) The DAEMON_enable variable should be set to ASK_DY to start after the default timeout and ASK_DN to not start after the timeout. It should also be possible to use the short form [y/n] while booting in addition to yes/no to start the deamon, and when I misstype, the variable should be set to "no" so that there is no errormessage from the rc system. greetings ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
