Question about rc-scripts

[Stephen Allen]

Hi Derek,

> Not all scripts create a pid file is the simple answer.

I didn't see how the isc-dhcpd script or dovecot created a pid, so I
assumed it was something that rc.subr took care of.

Again, I thought the rc.subr functions took care of all that for you
(unless you wanted something special from those commands).

I've posted the script (changed quite a lot from vendor supplied) at:

If you (or anyone) were to suggest changes, I would very much appreciate
the reasons why, so I can learn.

Many thanks,
Steve
