I've installed the Sphinx search daemon (searchd), and noticed that the port didn't come with a rc.d script. After a good bit of man page reading and debugging, I was able to get the Sphinx search daemon to behave properly, namely using the --nodetach and rc_bg options.
To help improve the port, would you want to include this rc.d script, or something similar? That way if someone wants to setup a Sphinx Search daemon, they won't have to spend all the time debugging as I did. -- Jay Williams #!/bin/ksh # # searchd - Sphinxsearch network daemon daemon="/usr/local/bin/searchd" daemon_flags="--nodetach" # daemon_user="deploy" # force start the daemon in background rc_bg=YES . /etc/rc.d/rc.subr rc_cmd $1
