I just made the transition to 5.3 from 4.x and I am unclear on the the new rcNG way of starting locally installed services such as MySQL, Samba etc. I did read the manual pages on rc.d and rcNG. I just installed MySQL from ports and would like it to start automatically on boot. The manual page for rcNG is a bit unclear for starting local userland services such as mysql. A working example for a common application such as MysQL, Postgresql, or Samba would certainly be useful. My question is: Do I still start MysQL the old way with the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh? OR Do I create an entry in /etc/rc.conf.local with "mysql_enable=YES"? Also, if using the rcNG method, do I have to copy the mysql-server.sh script to /etc/rc.d/mysql or will rcNG make use of default /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh? Thanks, -- Scott A.
