Yup, great idea. The new patch [attached] permits you to set:
DAEMON_ask_timeout={0-9}[s|m|h]
and
DAEMON_ask_default=[yes|no]
in rc.conf
Default values have been put in rc.subr ("5s" and "yes")

This could be done, but at the moment I rely on the checkyesno
subroutine in rc.subr, which only accepts [yes, true, on, 1] and [no,
false, off, 0] in any combination of upper and lower case.

rc.subr modification: testing and feedback are welcome!
Hello List, I did a patch to allow rc.conf DAEMON_enable values to be decided at startup. 1) set apache_start="ask" in rc.conf 2) at boot, you'll be prompted with "RC_ASK - Enable apache? [yes|no] " 3) the daemon is started depending on the decision 4) the decision is stored until the next boot, so that rc.shutdown can decide whether to call stop for a particular daemon or not See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=105568 for more information and to download the patch Thanx! -- Pietro Cerutti ICQ: 117293691 PGP: 0x9571F78E - ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against HTML e-mail and proprietary attachments www.asciiribbon.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
