Can't get local script to start at boot time

[SnowRabbit]

I have a problem

I put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to start sabnzbd.
but it i will not work! When i run at the shell it works fine!

bsdrabbit# ./sabnzbd start
Starting SABnzbd.

But it will not start a boot time:( It put the x bit there! gave it 755!?

this is the script

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting SABnzbd."
/usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py -d -f /usr/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
;;
stop)
echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0
Can some one please help...

No i put it in /ect/rc.conf

sab_enable="YES"

name of the script="sab" location =/usr/local/etc/rc.d

[SnowRabbit]

I will not work ether way in /ect/rc.conf or the one i made in /usr/local/etc/rc.conf!

[SnowRabbit]

bsdrabbit# ./sab start
Starting SABnzbd.

It run great from the shell.. but i also don't see anything loading when freeBSD boots like that echo <Starting SABnzbd>

[edogawaconan]

try this

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/rc.subr

name="sabnzbd"
rcvar=${name}_enable

: ${sabnzbd_enable="NO"}

command=/usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py
command_args="-d -f /usr/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini"

run_rc_command "$1"

oh don't forget to add
sabnzbd_enable="YES"
at rc.conf

The .sh is actually dangerous. Don't do that (See rc.subr). You simply need to add the executable flag to your script: +x.
