Re: auto add daemon

you can use sed:

sed -e "s/\(^DAEMONS=(.*\))/\1 YOURNEWDAEMONHERE)/" /etc/rc.conf

Of course you have to check the relative position of the daemons you add in order to satisfy dependencies.

excellent, works great. Is there a way to make sed remove daemons?

It uses regex in most cases, could be worth investing some time to get to know regex, it is quite powerful once you learn it.
Some doc:

Sed one liners, good examples:
