Ok I know about HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS, it's a good approach. But how to deal
with when I need to restart a service without upgrading? Reaper
functionnality is a trouble for many administrators who made meta ports to
manage their servers. I really think it could be a option to be
enabled/disabled. Can you see this possibility?
Thanks.

Hi Baptiste,
Why it used to work on FreeBSD 10? It stopped worked on FreeBSD 11 only.
It only worked on FreeBSD 10 prior to 10.2, the reaper functionnality in
freebsd
kernel appeared in 10.2
Cron is just an example, I manage more than 50 FreeBSD servers, and I've
been using ports for years to update some configs and restart the service
on all of them. Many times I need to change nginx config, ldap, etc. I
just
need to restart the service.
HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS=true in your pkg.conf and pkg will automatically restart
anything rc script provide once the package containing it is upgrading.
This is off by default because in many cases it is dangerous (database
upgrades,
dovecot like things upgrade etc). But if you know what you are doing it
does the
job.
Best regards,

Hey,
I think you also want process supervision given your other comments.
You can do this easily using daemon -P to run your scripts (but you'd
need to rewrite the rc script...)
Or use runit or similar? You could implement "runlevels" with that if
that's REALLY what you want :)
Cheers,
Chris
