Also (at least sometimes) the status command doesn't work:
root at kg-f4# service webcamd status dummy
webcamd is not running.
root at kg-f4# service webcamd start ugen3.3
Starting webcamd.
Attached to ugen3.3[0]
root at kg-f4# service webcamd status dummy
webcamd is not running.
root at kg-f4# service webcamd status ugen3.3
webcamd is not running.
root at kg-f4# pgrep -lf webcamd
1119 /usr/local/sbin/webcamd -B -U webcamd -G webcamd -d ugen3.3 -i 0
