Hello all FreeBSD users,
With the intent of saving me time when I check in my FreeBSD server over SSH, I added a one-liner to my .profile that tells me which of the machine's configured services are alive and which ones are dead. It's working well and I thought I'd share.

I am attempting to create two /usr/local/etc/rc.d services, using rc.subr(8) after reviewing https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/rc-scripting/. Service B's process must always run as root, while service A's process must always run as another less privileged user (some_user). The other user must...
Emacs can be run as a daemon using a flag: emacs --daemon. Then, all subsequent calls of emacsclient should connect to the server, saving startup time. FreeBSD's Emacs package doesn't seem to include any rc.d scripts so it's up to the user to procure one and that's what I'm trying to do.
I...

First, I think I know the difference for startup shell scripts located in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The former is for system scripts while the latter is for user-installed scripts...

I am trying to write an rc.d script to start and stop a (Python) script. Starting the command seems to be working, but stopping it is not yet the way I want.
My goal is to ensure the script receives a SIGTERM signal when it should shut down; that seems not to be the case; I think only the...

I'm trying to create an rc.d script for an existing port (games/ioquake3-server), which will allow it to launch at system start, and be managed by the rc system.
This software is "interactive" (opens a console on stdin for control), so I have to launch it using daemon instead to detach and keep...

This script doesn't work, I can easily start the server if I do:
# cd /usr/local/traccar
# java -jar tracker-server.jar conf/traccar.xml &

Hi,
I have difficulties to understand the syntax to use rc.subr function and arguments.
I would like to use run_rc_command in my rc.d script but how should I call for argument and use this function anyway?
Is it a replacement for start_cmd= or should I do start_cmd=run_rc_command args?
and...
Hello all,
I'm looking to deploy a Django application onto a FreeBSD 11.1 server, I've read a number of articles about using www/py36-gunicorn to provide the communications between www/nginx and Django, and brief trials appear successful.
I'm now looking to make a service that I can service...

I am not sure what's the right way to approach this.
My initial version used the script as command...

When I run the bluetooth script I notice it doesn't have any variables:
root@www# service bluetooth rcvar

compare to another random service

# (default: "")
so, most other services have an "enable" variable that I can put...

This is the rc.d script I've drafted. I am terrible at shell scripting. Could someone help me...
