ive noticed that apache can be started manually using the apachectl tool, even if it is not enabled in /etc/rc.conf. do many other daemons have this ability? i have a dev server that i would like to not have many things enabled in the rc.conf, but i would like an easy way to just start specific daemons when i need.

thanks,
jonathan

You can always use:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/scriptname forcestart
or
/etc/rc.d/scriptname forcestart

But this just overrides "enable" keyword in rc scripts and of course will not start your service in the next boot.
