Then $pexp should include everything that a daemon can append via rc.conf.local settings? > So this cannot be used as a generic solution. Wouldn't it make sense to use '-x' by defaut in rc.subr to be more strict and less likely to unintentionally kill other daemons in general? > If you want to match the exact complete command line, adapt pexp > accordingly and end it with '$'. Can $pexp be set via /etc/rc.conf.local? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVhcKOAAoJEFv7XvVCELh0qVoP/jdy1m0vE9/k8qVQfmlPlpMz QiXwM0y7SoGThrDnALeCuPflVGvenTtitNj7RtaSDsJRTyFKRW+VOQYJO/mP/3u/ DdKjvuEe6MtrcJYBgZLrcQw3EeWZM0NBsfO3wscC3hoWkN6dDeoNGh2w2GlUqm0J 414QZT5YwAuL2QwSHOZjPa3ks83JK1egs+g33YdSml3/ur8NAHqUX9V2aAWDaNcv HPZoQEf5JIRcfET28RxGYFIswybSQW5suZ2hcXrImZcypuTXqGv+e4pXs9YI4Jc2 jaae+HGc5UDIZmu8yBEmhdSm4OG+em6CwiG4MTyFrPte9a+AoAjp8gC9LiiFqbWl cNv5vugMJZHsXlaBwE4Be/w69L8/+r/gSnepEnSjJhUzygDCyv0MzrwkEdvHnxzu 7YZv1opDFkuOjWMNhPKA73lIDW0qmlti2Xl3q4BHb2XlvPhvOtWn2t1JhoHDl+nd r24UdruJLfOv+oXHr2nObIr1KlBvZ1DaPxm3ybRsJvdFLzHmBdWGGGVerA8Jlcv4 izZuKjTqQMfA/J4ESdqoLbcHzY/DGm/sbB8Grmez0rCtAzuinKCauQ5zX9IPV8p4 IskuzIwxHoXSPNN74+ycN+3XSlc/at/y5KxJBT2Nuf5ZR1H/V4Vp0IkedkM5qhmL l4j33IkmBZAG7e7T1UWT =9Asr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
