We are a FreeBSD shop, so naturally we run our Apache Cassandra cluster on it. Unfortunately, there isn't an rc.d script for it. Using cassandra/bin/cassandra -p /var/run/cassandra.pid has been working fine without any grief. However, it would be nice to utilize the rc system built into FreeBSD. I took the Tomcat 6.0 rc script that it is in the port system (www/tomcat6) and adapted it for cassandra.
