Those take precedence I've tried to avoid addressing the user directly as it is usually the preferred style in our manual pages and handbooks, but I am not going to block this patch because of this minor thing. It's up to you. Otherwise, it seems pretty solid so if you've got this new service tested, you've got my approval! Thanks a lot!

It's up to you. I incorporated all your changes (including being consistent about not addressing the user directly).

Thanks a lot! 150 WUs and counting :) A commit references this bug: Author: grembo Date: Tue Apr 14 16:54:34 UTC 2020 New revision: 531706 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/531706 Log: Correct typo in pkg-message.

Created attachment 213247 [details] Patch to improve startup script and join Team FreeBSD automatically This patch brings a couple of improvements: - `fahclient_log' is now passed in the --log parameter to FAHClient, so that the log file is actually written in the location `service fahclient log' is looking in. - `fahclient_donor' can be set to specify the user to attribute the work units processed to. If the user already has a donor configured in config.xml, that setting take precedence (following the POLA principle). It defaults to `Anonymous'. - `fahclient_team' can be set to specify the team to attribute the work units processed to. If the user already has a team configured in config.xml, that setting take precedence (following the POLA principle). It defaults to the Team ID of "Team FreeBSD". - `fahclient_extra_flags' can be used to specify additional settings to be passed to FAHClient (`fahclient_flags' also works, but anything set in there can be overriden in config.xml. FAHClient will warn in such cases). - New command `service fahclient showconfig' can be used to see the actual settings that FAHClient is using. - Using --option=value syntax to reduce fallout in case a setting wasn't configured properly. - Document all settings on top of the rc file. As a result, configuring the port is quite comfortable: service fahclient enable service fahclient start will start FAHClient as Anonymous, contributing to "Team FreeBSD". sysrc fahclient_user=that_folding_guy sysrc fahclient_team=12171 sysrc fahclient_extra_flags+=" --cpus=7" service fahclient restart will send work units as donor `that_folding_guy', member of an alternative team named "FreeBSD", utilizing up to 7 CPUs. service fahclient showconfig | grep cpus will give the peace of mind that the setting caught on.
