Hello List,
I did a patch to allow rc.conf DAEMON_enable values to be decided at
startup.
1) set apache_start="ask" in rc.conf
2) at boot, you'll be prompted with "RC_ASK - Enable apache? [yes|no] "
3) the daemon is started depending on the decision
4) the decision is stored until the next boot, so that rc.shutdown can
decide whether to call stop for a particular daemon or not
See:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=105568
for more information and to download the patch
Thanx!
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
