Need help with rc.d script

[Ernie Luzar]

Thanks for everyones input. But still the service stop command can not 
find the pid file.

In a effort for everyone to play with this problem on their own 
computers I have simplified things as shown below.


  >cat /usr/local/sbin/testloop

#!/bin/sh

  (
    while true; do
      echo -e "Success:"
      logger -t testloop -p daemon.err "Success: log"
      sleep 10
    done
  ) &
    echo $! > /var/run/dynip.pid
    exit 0

The above is what Iam said to try.

  >cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/testloop

#!/bin/sh
  #
  #
  # PROVIDE: testloop
  # REQUIRE: LOGIN DAEMON NETWORKING
  # KEYWORD: nojail shutdown
  #
  # Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable testloop:
  #
  # testloop_enable="YES"
  #

  . /etc/rc.subr
  name="testloop"
  rcvar=testloop_enable
  pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
  command="/usr/local/sbin/${name}"
  load_rc_config ${name}
  run_rc_command "$1"

service testloop onestart  does indeed start testloop as a daemon. Can 
verify that by using the ps command. But there is no 
/var/run/testloop.pid created, and the service testloop onestop command 
still complains about it not running no pid file.
