stop/start services

[fbsd]

 etc/rc.d is for software that is part of the operating system and
 stuff in here gets launched by control statments in rc.conf

 /usr/local/etc/rc.d is where software installed from the ports
normally put their start up scripts.
At boot time the directory is read and all scripts
ending in .sh get executed.

start If
   that doesn't print out anything then double check what's in
   /etc/rc.conf If the service apparently starts up, but then you
find
   it's not running a few seconds later, then check any log files
that
   application uses -- it's quite often the case that there's a
   configuration fubar somewhere that is causing the service to give
up.
