The DAEMONS is actually surprisingly powerful. Some tips: - /etc/rc.d is where the scripts for DAEMONS are. Any file there can be used in the DAEMONS array. These files aren't in the typical linux init style, but easy. - You can hack some stuff to get multiple DAEMONS arrays if you want "runlevels" - As per comments in the rc.conf, @ in front of a daemon will start it in the background at boot (so you can start stuff in parallel) # I missed this note :/ Sorry if you knew all this already, cheers. -AT On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 9:14 PM, David C.
