Hello,

I'd like to automate startup of hobbit at boot time.

If I make a link from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit.sh to the startup script
in /usr/local/...hobbit/server/hobbit.sh,  how do I get it to start
using the user account 'hobbit' ?

Is there another preferred technic ?

Rich,

Thanks for the reply. I think I follow the script.  If I'm correct,
when the script runs, something passes to the script, a stop, start,
or restart command.

But how does this occur? Does simply putting this script in
../etc/rc.d/ make it automatic, or is it a combination of the former +
adding something like "hobbit_enable='YES' " withing the rc.conf file
?

Thanks

Don
