RE: startup / shutdown scripts for *BSD?

Howdy,
    Assuming you've installed the FreeBSD package, or built it from the ports
tree:

% cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pgsql.sh
#!/bin/sh
[ -d /usr/local/pgsql/lib ] && /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib

[ -x /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster ] && {
        su -l pgsql -c 'exec /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i -S -o -F'
>/usr/local/pgsql/errlog 2>&1
        echo -n ' pgsql'
}

    I haven't bothered with a shutdown script.
