Think about daemons procedurally:
- Is this a built-in daemon? If so, set the _flags variable to something other than NO to enable the daemon at boot time. Stop here.
- Is this a third party package I installed? If so:
- Add the /etc/rc.d script name to the pkg_scripts variable.
- Does it need any special flags? If so, create a _flags variable.
- Does it need to be started as a special user, other than defined in the script? If so, create a _user variable.
- If this is a self-installed application, not included in the ports/packages system, either I create my own rc.d script as described in FAQ 10.3, or I create startup scripting in /etc/rc.local.
