If you have a look at the NetBSD ports startup scripts, at the top of each script is a comment that says to move the file.sh to /etc/rc.d/file, if you wish to have them participate in rcorder. It is best to leave the moving of these scripts up to the individual administrator.Received on Tue Aug 17 2004 - 15:20:13 UTC
