Re: 4.7 changes to /bin/sh?
The line it bitched about was something like:
[ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/thttpd_wrapper ] ${PREFIX}/sbin/thttpd_wrapper
echo -n ' thttpd'
I presume it was complaining about running a command in the background and
then trying to use the operator to run the following command.
Your diagnosis is correct. This change is even mentioned in 4.7 release
notes (which I read *after* posting similar message to this list a
few weeks agog).
I don't know about thttpd_wrapper, but with my scripts (mysql_server.sh
and pwcheck.sh) I could just remove the single and the scripts
started to work OK.

4.7 changes to /bin/sh?
Hi:
I installed the port for thttpd, and when I upgraded to 4.7, it broke my
rc.d script, complaining about an unexpected ''.
The line it bitched about was something like:
[ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/thttpd_wrapper ] ${PREFIX}/sbin/thttpd_wrapper
echo -n ' thttpd'
I presume it was complaining about running a command in the background and
then trying to use the operator to run the following command.

check to see how ${PREFIX} is being evaluated: I have found quite
a few rc scripts where it never worked: I just hard-coded the
necessary values.

While I do agree with you, in this case it's not it. If I rewrote the
script using an if statement, it worked just fine.
if [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/thttpd_wrapper ]; then
${PREFIX}/sbin/thttpd_wrapper
echo -n ' thttpd'

No, it's the construction, which is illegal and should never
have been allowed. Update to the latest version of the port and
submit a PR if the bug persists.

Funny that this should come up, as I recently upgraded to 4.7 and it
broke my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh script with the same
syntax? What changed?
I tried a simple script on FreeBSD 4.7, OSX 10.2 and Solaris 8, and
they all barfed on that syntax.
