I need help porting the rc script for WozaMediaServer

Hi Guys

I have recently been trying to install WowzaMediaServer from the source because the port in the tree is both old, and unavailable as it requires a binary installer that has been removed.

The server itself works fine, but only when run in standalone mode, and there is no rc script provided that is compatible with FreeBSD.

I have been trying to modify the rc script provided with zero results but that is to be expected as this is the first time I have even looked inside an rc script. Below is the original, and them my work in progress, I am sure it is way off, but at least the paths are now correct, I know that much. :)

I have also tried using this as a template Porters Handbook, but I just made a mess.

If you have any advice for me that would be great :) Thanks for your time :)

Hi,

If your preferred route is to use the CentOS script then you would make your life easier by using Bash as the shell in FreeBSD too. As a quick fix, without looking too hard at the problem ;)

ta Andy.
