Hello.

I've installed WeeWX in a jail and found the following startup script 
somewhere:

> #!/bin/sh
> # Start script for FreeBSD, contributed by user Fabian Abplanalp
> # Adjust app and cfg locations as appropriate, then put this script
> # in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
> #
> WEEWX_BIN="/home/weewx/bin/weewxd"
> WEEWX_CFG="/home/weewx/weewx.conf"
> PIDFILE="/var/run/weewx.pid"
>
> case "$1" in
>   "start")
>     echo "Starting weewx..."
>     /usr/local/bin/python ${WEEWX_BIN} ${WEEWX_CFG} --daemon &
>     echo $! > ${PIDFILE}
>     echo "done"
>   ;;
>
>   "stop")
>     echo "Stopping weewx..."
>     if [ -f ${PIDFILE} ] ; then
>       kill `cat ${PIDFILE}`
>       rm ${PIDFILE}
>       echo "done"
>     else
>       echo "not running?"
>     fi
>   ;;
>
>   "restart")
>     echo "Restarting weewx..."
>     $0 stop
>     sleep 2
>     $0 start
>   ;;
>
>   *)
>     echo "$0 [start|stop|restart]"
>   ;;
>
> esac



It works if I issue "service weewx [start|stop|restart]", but it won't 
start the program on boot (or on jail restart).

Why?

Any sample of a rc.d script to start a Python deamon?

  bye & Thanks
	av.
