ah I see, good to get working any how :) Cheers guys

Indeed and changing the interpreter path to /usr/local/bin/perl absolutely worked, but it should not have the entire point of /usr/bin/env and invocation like that is execute things from the standard system path. It seems odd

That would also mean though that neither daemon or running mpd5 from the command line would also fail, this is not the case ~ either will run flawlessly, also: ➜ ~ whereis perl perl: /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.34/perl/man/man1/perl.1.gz /usr/src/contrib/file/magic/Magdir/perl Perl is in standard path, as shown from a root login: root@gateway:~ # echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin

Both scripts show the same problem, so I posted the shorter one: root@gateway:/usr/local/etc/mpd5 # cat mpd-down.script #!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dumper; `ifconfig ue0 -alias 0.0.0.0`; `ifconfig ng0 destroy`; open(my $fh,'>>','/var/log/mpd.log'); print $fh "Down!\n".Dumper(\@ARGV),"\n"; close($fh); exit(0); No path or other trickery is being used and the scripts are all executabe: root@gateway:/usr/local/etc/mpd5 # ls -la *.script -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 842 Mar 6 00:36...

As an extension of the above, I added the following to rc.local: echo "Starting 'BT Connector' daemon" /usr/sbin/daemon -S -R 5 -u root -t "BT Connector" -T mpd5 mpd5 And all is well .... there is something very odd when mpd is triggered from rc.conf going on
