Other run a golang script as rc.d script strange!

icinemagr · Oct 26, 2023

Hi,
I am trying to run a executable I created with golang named webstart located in /go/webstart/webstart

Here is a script I create based on this example

Practical rc.d scripting in BSD

A guide to writing new rc.d scripts and understanding those already written

docs.freebsd.org

Code:

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr
name="startweb"
rcvar="startweb_enable"
command="/go/webstart/webstart"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

then I added startweb_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf
then I reboot
then I try to start with command

service startweb start

I get error

Code:

env: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/startweb: No such file or directory

What I am doing wrong?
if I run it with ./webstart from /go/webstart/ everything is fine

Thank you

I am using FreeBSD 13.1

Where is your script stored and what is its filename? It seems as if there is no /usr/local/etc/rc.d/startweb.

~ # ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/startweb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 156 Oct 26 10:39 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/startweb

my script is in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ as you can see.

Just hack up /etc/rc.local

I would only bother with rc.conf integration for something that is a properly installed package.

FreeBSD version 13.1 is end of line since the end of July 2023 and thus not supported in this forum anymore (Thread 40469).

Searching the error message you find Thread 88802. There encoding was an issue. To figure out your situation run the script in foreground:
