Hello

I've not been able to figure out have to make my jail run simple commands at boot (postinit) like in Nas4Free webGui.
For example, rtorrent does not come with a rc.d script, and the program needs to be attached to another shell window like screen and tmux.

How to auto run commands each time you start/restart the jail?

Add the following to your rc.conf.local for the jails i.e. /jail/rc.conf.local, changing the <JAILNAME> to the name of your jail and adding your startup/shutdown commands between the speechmarks:
Hope this Helps

Your original post didn't mention Finch so I thought you might have been using TheBrig or the Wiki method. I'm not too familiar with Finch, you'd be better asking dreamcat4 how to do it.

On my system using the Wiki method, my rc.conf.local is in /jail/conf on the host.

The best thing to do is type "man rc" and read the official FreeBSD manpages. They explain everything about system startup.

It is the script "/etc/rc" and "etc/shutdown" which start everything up. The reason why rc.local file does not exist is because it is always like that on the official FreeBSD distribution.
