Hi, After putting my script to /etc/rc.d , it gets executed at startup and the parameter passed to the script is *faststart .* *I want the same script to be executed when system shuts down , how can i do that.*
Don't put it in /etc/rc.d/, give it a .sh extension and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. It will then get stop/start arguments.
No need to force it to have a .sh extension in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ nowadays. In fact, rather the contrary as a .sh extension causes the script to be run in the context of the rc process rather than in a sub-shell.
In FreeBSD 6.2+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ is totally integrated with /etc/rc.d and treated exactly the same. The system re-runs rcorder over both of those directories once it has got to the stage of mounting all the critical filesystems.
There's a bit more to it than that I think.
As I understand it, local scripts that contain a "# PROVIDE" line are integrated into rcorder, local scripts that don't have that line, but end in .sh, are executed from /etc/rc.d/localpkg in the old-style. AFAIK local scripts that have neither are ignored.
So in short, a user script that simply responds to start/stop needs to go /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, and it does need a .sh extension.
