 The script:

 #!/bin/sh
 #
 # $FreeBSD: N/A
 #
 # PROVIDE: akpop3d
 # REQUIRE: DAEMON
 #
 # Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable akpop3d:
 #
 # akpop3d_enable=YES
 #


 akpop3d_enable=${akpop3d_enable-NO}
 akpop3d_pidfile=${akpop3d_pidfile-/var/run/akpop3d.pid}
 akpop3d_flags=${akpop3d_flags--d -s -L .akpop3d}
 akpop3d_conffile=${akpop3d_conffile-}
 akpop3d_flush_cache=${akpop3d_flush_cache-NO}

 . /etc/rc.subr


 if [ ! -z $(check_pidfile $akpop3d_pidfile akpop3d) ]
 then

 else

 fi

 name=akpop3d
 rcvar=`set_rcvar`

 command=/usr/local/bin/${name}
 pidfile=${akpop3d_pidfile}
 #start_precmd=akpop3d_precmd

 load_rc_config ${name}



 run_rc_command $1

I haven't figured out the proper way myself, but the problem is that the 
defaults you set at top, override the rc.conf variables, because they don't 
exist yet. What I do is move load_rc_config before setting defaults. General 
order becomes:
name=foo
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config ${name}
foo_default=${foo_default:-default value}
run_rc_command $1

Seems to work, maybe I'll figure out the proper way once I finish reading:

Thanks.

Putting this before anything else butt he #!/bin/sh and the intro
comments worked but spat out some errors.

name=akpop3d
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config ${name}

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/etc/rc.d]# ./akpop3d start
set_rcvar: not found
load_rc_config: not found
Starting akpop3d.



So, I tried putting the `. /etc/rc.subr` before that, but it didn't
even start the server (processed with no errors, and a ps -A showed no
server)


At least I have something that *works* now, even if it spews errors. Thank you.

Also, if you reply, could you please reply-all? Sorry, I have this
list in digest mode due to volume, and I can't do a proper reply that
keeps thread information without having a normal copy.

That's weird. Here's my qpopper one, that works. Maybe you can find what's 
causing the errors for you:
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: qpopper
# REQUIRE: DAEMON

. /etc/rc.subr

name=qpopper
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config $name

qpopper_config=${qpopper_config:-/usr/local/etc/qpopper.config}
qpopper_host=${qpopper_host:-127.0.0.1}
qpopper_port=${qpopper_port:-110}

command=/usr/local/libexec/${name}
command_args=-f ${qpopper_config} ${qpopper_host}:${qpopper_port}

run_rc_command $1

I believe you have to precede these with a colon and space; i.e. : 
for it to work correctly.

problems with a rc.d script I'm creating

2007-09-01 Thread Jim Stapleton 
I'm trying to create an rc.d script to start akpop3d (it doesn't seem
to come with one).

According to the documentation on run_rc_command in /etc/rc.subr, I
thought this should work. However I get no response when I run
'/usr/local/etc/rc.d/akpop3d start', and ps -A doesn't show an akpop3d
process. When I run it manually (akpop3d -d -s -L .akpop3d), it starts
just fine.
