rc.d

Hi! Lately I'm thinking to get more into BSD systems and one of the first steps I want to make is to migrate my relatively simple self hosting setup (a single machine with few applications running on it) from Ubuntu to BSD. I was tempted to migrate this machine many times in the last years but...

I've based the rc.d script on the odoo one. However I'm installing in a virtualenv. From time to time the process crashes. However when doing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/odoo status it shows as running. When I check the pid that is in /var/run there's no process with that pid. I have set procname to...

I am trying to get forgejo running as a service in a jail. When I manually start forgejo as the git user it runs as expected, however attempting to get it to run with the included rc file provided by the ports package it errors out. Forgejo Port rc.d script When I start forgejo manually it...

FreeBSD 14.0. Neither /usr/local/etc/rc.d/unbound, nor /etc/rc.d/local_unbound list syslogd among their requirements. So, if unbound service (either one) is started by setting respective X_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, then it just so happens that unbound is started before syslogd. Which means...

I am trying to implement an rc.d service script that starts multiple processes. The exact number of processes is determined dynamically from an rc.conf variable like so: dummy_process_count=5 I read the tutorial Practical rc.d scripting in BSD, but there is no example with multiple processes...

I am still struggling to create a working rc.d script for onedrive. covacat has explained that I need to explicitly define environment variables, but now I am facing another issue: rc.d starts onedrive exactly as it should, but the program starts and stays in the foreground. Meaning: During the...

Hello, I am trying to set up a daemon for onedrive. It needs to be run as a specific user, because onedrive has to read the authentication token from the user home directory, and then synchronize into that directory. However, ${onedrived_user="borysj"} does not do the trick. I see that the...

How should I override the start_precmd of an existing rc.d script? If the rc.d script contains load_rc_config ${name} towards the end of the script (e.g. right before run_rc_command "$1"), it would be a simple matter of creating a file /etc/rc.conf.d/myexample to override the start_precmd of the...

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. #!/bin/sh printf...

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...

I am trying to adapt the script found here to my purposes: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/freebsdspawnfcgi/ Initially I followed the instructions and put the script in /etc/rc.local but the script was then being triggered before nginx and mysql loaded. I need it to...

So my initial problem was solved before I made this post (don't use - in $name) but I'm here to ask your help in aiding me to find the changes and showing me, where to look/read. I have multiple flavours one of them called basic-dns On first run /etc/rc.d/ezjail_flavour_basic-dns is called...

I think I asked this question sometime ago, but I can't find the answer when searching for it. Anyway... 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...

Hi folks, I've created this rc script to start gunicorn as a daemon on boot following this article (practical rc scripting). #!/bin/sh # PROVIDE: gunicorn_appleclue # REQUIRE: DAEMON . /etc/rc.subr name=gunicorn_appleclue rcvar=gunicorn_appleclue_enable...

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...

Hi guys, I would like to start emacs as a daemon at boot, using the configuration file of an user named "alex". Here is my rc.dscript, in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/emacsd #!/bin/sh # PROVIDE: emacsd # REQUIRE: login # after login # Emacs daemon . /etc/rc.subr name="emacsd" rcvar=emacsd_enable...
