Hi, I'm hoping to get into the spirit of the new rc.d script specs (REQUIRES, PROVIDES, command=, etc) on a new server I'm building. The old script I was using looked like this: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/start-all-foo.sh [ -x /usr/local/bin/foo ] && su foo-role -c "/usr/local/bin/foo bar" [ -x /usr/local/bin/foo ] && su foo-role -c "/usr/local/bin/foo baz" [ -x /usr/local/bin/foo ] && su foo-role -c "/usr/local/bin/foo bof" ... I have several questions about how to replicate this behavior. I'm still deciding whether I'm willing to split out the 10 or so instances into separate scripts...if I didn't want to do that, is the best way to handle it to create a script with all 10 command and then have the rc script run that script? How do I replicate the su stuff? I could say command=su and foo_flags="foo-role -c ..." but that doesn't seem very good. As a bonus, foo would like to make pid files, but /var/run isn't writable to foo-role. What's the standard way to handle where to put the pid files? Thanks! Mike
