Wow, @matrixbot; I think they got it...

ksh does support "sourcing" files - it just uses the . syntax: . bin/activate for example.

[williamleuschner]

Ah, I didn't know that, and I guess I just forgot to try it when I was setting it up. Thanks!

Also here is an example rc.d script:

cat /etc/rc.d/synapse                                                                                                                                                                        
#!/bin/sh

datadir="/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse"
daemon_flags="/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/homeserver.yaml"
daemon="${datadir}/bin/synctl"
daemon_user="_synapse"

. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr
. ${datadir}/bin/activate

rc_reload=NO
rc_usercheck=NO

pexp="/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/bin/python.*"

rc_start() {
        ${rcexec} "${daemon} start ${daemon_flags}"
}

rc_stop() {
        ${rcexec} "${daemon} stop ${daemon_flags}"
}

rc_restart() {
        ${rcexec} "${daemon} restart ${daemon_flags}"
}

rc_cmd $1

Thanks for this! Does @qbit's suggestion of . bin/activate work?

[williamleuschner]

@erikjohnston Yes, it does. I've tested it and updated my README changes accordingly.

Should I also add the rc.d script to my pull request as well?

[erikjohnston]

Might want to start at 1 :)

[williamleuschner]

I completely forgot that.. Whoops!
