if you are using FreeBSD then it has two location (directory) where all scripts stored to start/stop/restart services
Code:
/etc/rc.d/service-name start
/etc/rc.d/service-name stop
/etc/rc.d/service-name restart
Under freebsd ports related service/daemon can be found under /usr/locat/etc/rc.d directory so you can use:
Code:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/service-name start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/service-name stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/service-name restart
NetBSD use same (above) stuff. OpenBSD don't have /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d like Linux or Solairs or FreeBSD. It is plain UNIX stuff
To start OpenBSD service/daemon:
Code:
/path/to/daemon &
/path/to/daemon
For example to start OpenBSD sshd and inetd server:
Code:
/usr/sbin/sshd &
/usr/sbin/inetd &
To restart OpenBSD service/daemon:
Code:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/daemon.pid`
So restart OpenBSD SSHD service/daemon:
Code:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
So restart OpenBSD inetd service/daemon:
Code:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
