Newbie Alert.

I am trying to diagnose why a startup script doesn't = seem to run automatically during startup but seems to run fine when = invoked from the command line.  My script lives in = /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  I have checked the man pages and verified = that /etc/defaults/rc.conf contains this directory in the local_startup = line and there are no overrides in /etc/rc.conf.  My script is = called dynip.sh and it has the following "permissions" (is = this the right term?).

-rwxr-x--x  1 root  wheel  111 Sep 13 = 04:51 apache.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  233 Dec 20 = 11:36 dynip.sh

I included the apache.sh line because this script = appears to work as apache starts up automatically.  This is the = contents of my dynip.sh script:

112 Blacksheep# cat dynip.sh
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
        [ -x = /usr/local/bin/dynipclient ] && ( /usr/local/bin/dynipclient = & ) &&
 echo -n ' dynipclient'
        ;;
stop)
        echo -n ' = dynipclient'
        ;;
*)
        echo = "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
        ;;
esac

exit 0

This script was compliments of Don Maddox.  I = don't have a clue about writing *nix scripts but plan to learn = soon.  Anyway, the attempt here is to run a client program that = registers my dynamic IP address with a DNS service I subscribe = to.  When I invoke the script manually, it appears to run = fine.
