Thanks, > > I use /etc/rc.local. That's the wrong file to edit imho. The system rc.* files in /etc/ shouldn't be used to start local packages. You should be putting scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d - scripts in here (for eg. mysql.sh) are called with the 'start' parameter when the system boots up. If you install mysql from the ports tree, you should already have a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d Cheers, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
