Init script is not configured to run at boot.

[albyva]

I have a FreeBSD box and I ran (./splunk enable boot-start) and got the following message:

Init script installed at /etc/rc.d/splunk.

Init script is not configured to run at boot.

What in this file (/etc/rc.d/splunk) needs to be configured to boot? And does anything need to be set in the rc.conf file to kick it off when it boots?

I ran into this and thought I'd post my solution. Just change the rc script per this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2012-January/031246.html. Just change rcvar to "splunk_enable".

Hi albyva,

You don't need to change anything in the start script nor in /etc/rc.conf.
What happens if you re-run the enable boot-start or run the /etc/rc.d/splunk script?

Cheers, MuS

If I run the /etc/rc.d/splunk script I get a code error.

root@/opt/splunk/bin # sh /etc/rc.d/splunk

/etc/rc.d/splunk: set_rcvar: not found

eval: ${:...}: Bad substitution

When I rerun the script, I get the same output of it not being configured to run at boot.

root@/opt/splunk/bin # ./splunk enable boot-start

Init script installed at /etc/rc.d/splunk.
