RCSTART(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            RCSTART(1)

NAME
     rcstart - use rc.d(8) scripts conveniently

SYNOPSIS
     rcstart [-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.
