Of course I can do: mkdir /etc/rc.d/disabled ; mv /etc/rc.d/moused /etc/rc.d/disabled But then I would loose the ability to configure everything with rc.conf. A tool, which parses rc.conf and automatically relocates might be an option, but it would be better if it can be done without. -- B.Walter <bernd_at_bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.Received on Sat Jul 19 2008 - 13:35:40 UTC
