Is this booting off from the CD? What version of FreeBSD? Any specific reason you are booting without ACPI?

Re: The Booting Process
Is there a way, when booting, to have an application launch? Ex: exec /usr/servers/bots/zDSBot3/zDSBot3 Where would I add this line, if possible? If not, would it be possible to be made in the next version? See man rc(8). jerry Thanks, - A Guy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d
All scripts that are executable and end in .sh in that directory get
executed at boot-time. You could create your own scripts in that directory
that starts your application.
On boot the scripts are executed with the first agrument being start. On
shutdown the scripts are executed with stop as first argument. By checking
the argument in your script you can determine if you should start the
application or not. (Don't start it at shutdown :)
A simple rc.d-script could look something like this :
--- cut here ---
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
/some/dir/some-app echo -n ' some-app'
;;
stop)
;;
*)
echo Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop} 2
;;
esac
exit 0
--- cut here ---
The echo -n line is the output you see when you boot your system after :
Local package initialization :
This only works on applications that daemonize (dissapear into the background
when you start them). If your program doesn't daemonize, you should start it
with an sign behind it...

RE: The Booting Process
Yes there is just such a place Your launch script should look like this. File name some-name.sh #!/bin/sh exec /usr/servers/bots/zDSBot3/zDSBot3 put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ The permission on this script file must be read, write, exec for owner root. Chmod 700 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/some-name.sh During the boot process after rc.conf gets executed then any file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that ends with .sh gets executed. That's where dhcp, apache and all other ports get launched from at boot time. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of gffds fsdff Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2003 6:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The Booting Process Is there a way, when booting, to have an application launch?
