Please note, the delay on this point was entirely mine, as it took me longer than Wed, 03 Mar 2004 15:20:24 GMT Mike Makonnen http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/727 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/727 Hi Luke, folks, The attached patch shuts up ps(1) when the program we're looking for does not exist. The error message is something along the lines of: ps: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 15:20:20 GMT Mike Makonnen http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/726 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/726 Hi folks, I'm not sure if the fast prefix was intended to also work with the stop command, but I think it should. The reason is because most applications don't Wed, 18 Feb 2004 00:36:06 GMT Doug Barton http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/725 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/725 ...

I wonder if I added something to cause it.

I don't see any circular dependency, and rcorder(8) backs me up :-) What do you think is circular ? ... I think you're right.

I get spam all the time from this list without any tagging, but a perfectly good message with a valid digital Thu, 05 Feb 2004 18:19:00 GMT Brooks Davis http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/720 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/720 I noticed that rc.d/ttys has a circular dependency caused by requiring mountcritremote. I can't figure out why you would need that, any ideas?

Therefore I've changed the policy of the list Sat, 17 Jan 2004 17:39:34 GMT Simon L. Nielsen http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/659 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/659 Hello I have enhanced the gbde rc.d script a bit, so it asks the user X times (normally 3) for the pass-phrase. I have also added support for having the Tue, 06 Jan 2004 14:57:47 GMT Mike Makonnen http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/611 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/611 ...

As for rc.subr(8) I tried to interest you in a small patch once but it never got anywhere (I don't recall the Tue, 06 Jan 2004 01:35:38 GMT Luke Mewburn http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/610 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/610 ... FWIW; whilst NetBSD is unlikely to share the same /etc/rc.d/* scripts with FreeBSD (10 years of feature skew between our projects), maintaining Tue, 06 Jan 2004 01:10:56 GMT Doug http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/609 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/609 Guys, FYI, I updated mergemaster last week to detect any files in /etc/rc.d (or ${DESTDIR}/etc/rc.d if they are different) that aren't in ${TEMPROOT}/etc/rc.d, Mon, 29 Dec 2003 21:48:24 GMT Doug Barton http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/584 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/message/584 ...
