Daemons /etc/rc.conf

[Schart]

Here is my current Daemons list:

DAEMONS=(set-oxnas-mac !hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd openntpd samba)

Are there any I can remove that are not needed (seems like there is no !hwclock on the pogoplug for example)

Is it ok to add SABnzbd, Sick Beard, Couchpotato, and Headphones to this list so they all start on boot?

Thanks!

Is there a reason you want to chop down your daemons list? TBH, the devs put each of those in the list so I would assume they should be there indefinitely.

I don't see why you couldn't add those to the list. First make sure they can start and run properly with /etc/rc.d/<app name> start. If no fails, add them to the daemons list. If there are any errors from that, just add the /etc/rc.d/<app name> start to your /etc/rc.local.

Heads up: this may change if you make the switch to systemd (BUT DON'T DO IT YET! Wait for WarheadsSE to give the all-clear).

Perfect, thanks! I just wasn't sure if it would affect the system in anyway. I was worried because when I got my Plug yesterday upon first install after Samaba and editing this file, I got the fast blinking led on boot. It took me three hours to get everything working again. To be fair I think I put Samaba outside the end parenthesis. Either that or I did Pacman and updated the system and that broke it.

I have all those apps installed/configured and they boot without error. So I will add them later to Daemons later today. Would there be any kind of advantage to put them, in /etc/rc.local instead?

Do not remove set-oxnas-mac, if you like having LED & identical MAC. This may be alterable in the future however, as a udev rule can be used for the MAC setting on eth0, just not as magically as the /usr/local/mac_addr

Thanks for the replies everyone! I added those to the Daemons and everything is good to go.
