>Description:
Hi Steven,

The following patch to gmond.in :

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core/files/gmond.in?r1=251553&r2=283939

introduced a bug in the script.

When started manually, everything runs fine, but when started during the boot sequence, gmond is never started.

This is because at boot time, $0 is set to /etc/rc, which leads to setting the 'name' variable to rc. As a consequence, the remaining of the script fails.
