RCSTART(1) BSD General Commands Manual RCSTART(1)NAMErcstart — use rc.d(8) scripts conveniently
SYNOPSISrcstart [-vnpslh] [services]
DESCRIPTION
The rcstart script was written to give easier access to init scripts in
the rc.d(8) folders. The parameter given to those scripts is its own name
minus the 'rc' prefix. Different parameters are realized by creating
links.
The following aliases are available:
rcstart rcstatus rcstop rcrestart
Use services that have service_enable="yes" set.
rconestart rconestatus rconestop rconerestart
Use services that do not have service_enable="yes" set.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-v --verbose
Be verbose after this parameter.
-n --not-verbose
Do not be verbose after this parameter.
-p --paths
Display the paths that are scanned for init scripts.
-s --services
Display all available services.
-l --locate
Following this parameter scripts will not be executed, but their
location will be printed until -n or -v appear.
-h --help
Displays the available options.
services
A service is provided by an init script in an rc.d folder. The
name of the service provided by an rc.d script can be identified
through the PROVIDE keyword.
The services parameter is treated as a regular expression by the
rcstart script.
EXAMPLES
To restart all SQL servers simply run:
rcrestart '.*sql'
If the servers have no respective entries in /etc/make.conf, the command
has to look like this:
rconerestart '.*sql'
COMPATIBILITY
The script has been tested on FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE.
