Re: rc script for a program - detach from tty?

Here's a snippet of something I wrote for motioneye (
https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye)

. /etc/rc.subr

name="motioneye"
rcvar="motioneye_enable"
load_rc_config $name

: ${motioneye_enable:="no"}
: ${motioneye_pid:="/var/run/motioneye/motioneye.pid"}
: ${motioneye_conf:="/usr/local/etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf"}
: ${motioneye_db:="/var/db/motioneye"}
: ${motioneye_suser:="motioneye"}

pidfile="${motioneye_pid}"
procname="/usr/local/bin/meyectl"
command_interpreter="/usr/local/bin/python3"
command="/usr/sbin/daemon"
command_args="-u $motioneye_suser -f -p ${motioneye_pid} $procname
startserver -c ${motioneye_conf}"

run_rc_command "$1"


I don't know how the program you are trying to invoke behaves.
It's hard to provide you with a specific answer due to this.
What have you tried thus far?  What results are you getting when invoking
it?
