mkfifo - How to install it? [FreeNAS]

[marcovanb]

Hi, I have an application expecting to use mkfifo. What package is it in? Thanks. Nick/

mkfifo is part of the base system (/usr/bin/mkfifo - mkfifo(1))

Thanks for your response. I'm actually using freenas running freebsd. It does not seem to come with mkfifo or it was not in /usr/bin. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You need to copy the file from a FreeBSD system with the same release that your FreeNAS is built from... Save it on one of your shares then with a startup script copy it to /usr/bin

Thanks for the response. I was going down that road by downloading the frebsd .iso.

Cheers, Nick
