Perhaps you could have your menu in an rc script (or even auto-detect from one), and then have it touch a file or something to signal to other scripts. rc.conf is a shell script that sourced for each rc script so you could have entries like [ -f /tmp/home-wireless ] && enable_foo=yes to determine which daemons start. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
