How come "rcrun reload" doesn't work?
looks like rcrun itself doesn't support reload - > usage: rcrun > start|stop|restart|rcvar|list|forcestart|faststart|disable|enable I'd suggest using either the 'restart' target or maybe 'faststart' in your tor rc script to do the reload - alternately you could of course run: /etc/rc.d/tor reload directly as you demonstrated. the rc scripts themselves are shell scripts so the usual sh -x <script> <args> to trace execution, etc. should apply - for example: sh -x /sbin/rcrun reload tor to see the details of the particular error you saw main ones are /sbin/rcrun as you have found, /etc/rc, and /etc/rc.subr (common subroutines) of course the usual rc, rc.conf, rcorder, rcrun, etc. manual pages are a good place to look as well as of course the dragonfly handbook http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/handbook-configtuning-rcng/ although the associated 'rcrun' managment scripts are a dragonfly creation, The rc.d infrastructure originally comes from NetBSD - which has some good docs which are mostly applicable - http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-rc.html there's also a PDF about the design as well as the evolution / history from which is quite excellent in the above URL ok. I stop the blabbing. As someone who has had to try and package SysV init S & K softlinkk configurations, I get a bit exited about rcng and tend to ramble. cheers and good luck - Chris
