rcNG - starting services.

2004-12-03 Thread Scott Gerhardt
I just made the transition to 5.3 from 4.x and I am unclear on the the 
new rcNG way of starting locally installed services such as MySQL, 
Samba etc.  I did read the manual pages on rc.d and rcNG.

I just installed MySQL from ports and would like it to start 
automatically on boot.

The manual page for rcNG is a bit unclear for starting local userland 
services such as mysql.  A working example for a common application 
such as MysQL, Postgresql, or Samba would certainly be useful.

My question is:
Do I still start MysQL the old way with the script in 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh?
OR
Do I create an entry in /etc/rc.conf.local with mysql_enable=YES?

Also, if using the rcNG method, do I have to copy the mysql-server.sh 
script to /etc/rc.d/mysql or will rcNG make use of default 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh?

Thanks,

yes

 OR

you need to add line mysql_enable=YES  to rc.conf

 Also, if using the rcNG method, do I have to copy the mysql-server.sh
 script to /etc/rc.d/mysql or will rcNG make use of default

no

 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh?

yes ;-)
