You can run mysqld manually in FreeBSD, too.

It's different for each OS. chkconfig doesn't take the same arguments on RedHat and SUSE, so there isn't even consistency within Linux. FreeBSD ports always install their scripts into /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and you can enable them by adding the appropriate xxx_enable=yes line to /etc/rc.conf. You can look at the startup script to see what keyword it uses. > I wouldn't have known what to add to rc.conf if you > didn't mention it. > > Did I do do something wrong or is there a way to make > FreeBSD packages like this do more configuration such > as automatic server/start enabling etc...
