>Description:
When using freebsd 9 & mcollective 2.1, the startup script does not evaluate correctly the status of the daemon :

[eqx-admin1:~] sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mcollectived start 
Starting mcollectived.
[eqx-admin1:~] sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mcollectived status
mcollectived is not running.

when checking pid file, and pid list (and functionality of the daemon), it's OK.

I think it's due to the procname directive in the rc.d script. It is set to "ruby", while process list shows :

root        305   0.0  0.0 215936  19292  ??  S     6:48AM     0:00.51 /usr/local/bin/ruby19 /usr/local/sbin/mcollectived .....

setting procname to "/usr/local/bin/ruby19" makes it happy.

When running a config management tool like chef, it spawns hundreds of process and crashes the machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
launch rc.d script
