a bit confused with new rc.d system in 5.0
Hi there I just installed 5.0 the first thing I noticed is the new rc system yeah looks good but I'm totally lost! so what is the difference between /etc/rc.sendmail and /erc/rc.d/sendmail I tried the handbook but there is no info about how to properly use this new system!. I like to integrate my scripts with the system so I would like to learn this new stuff so please if anyone could point me to some kind of doc/info I'll appreciate it Thanks Jorge To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I tried the handbook but there is no info about how to properly use this new system!. To properly use this system, just set the appropriate config variables in /etc/rc.conf. That hasn't changed. I like to integrate my scripts with the system so I would like to learn this new stuff Doing your own scripts works just like it used to. Either put things in /etc/rc.local - which is depreciated - or put scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The latter scripts need to end in .sh and be executable. They should accept an argument of start to start things, and stop to stop things. so please if anyone could point me to some kind of doc/info I'll appreciate it I don't know of any docs, and the info I'm using is the shell scripts proper. You might ask on -current if you want more information than I've provided. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
