I noticed there is no guide on how to use H@H on BSD systems so I thought I would make quick guide on getting it running as a service.

Platform: FreeBSD 11.1 (in a Jail. Make sure you allow raw sockets!)
Packages: ca_root_nss, openjdk8
Other files: Newest package from https://e-hentai.org/hentaiathome.php

1)unpack the zip to wherever you want (e.g. /usr/bin/local/share/hath). I used /config which was mounted via fstab.
2)make a user to run the program. Do NOT run it as root even if its in a jail and you also don't need to have a user with a home or login shell. I used the following:
hath:*:6969:6969::0:0:hath:/nonexistent:/usr/bin/nologin
3)run the program once to get it setup: java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar /path/to/h@h/h@h.jar
4)once it is setup you can CTRL+C
5)make an rc.d script (e.g., /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hath)
6)use this but make sure to change things based on where you put and named H@H:

CODE

#!/bin/sh

# $FreeBSD$
#
# PROVIDE: hath
# REQUIRE: LOGIN SERVERS DAEMON resolv
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf
# to enable this service:
#
# hath_enable:    Set to YES to enable hath
#            Default: NO
# hath_user:    The user account used to run the hath daemon.
#            This is optional, however do not specifically set this to an
#            empty string as this will cause the daemon to run as root.
#            Default: hath
# hath_group:    The group account used to run the hath daemon.
#            This is optional, however do not specifically set this to an
#            empty string as this will cause the daemon to run with group wheel.
#            Default: hath
# hath_data_dir:    Directory where hath configuration
#            data is stored.
#            Default: /config

. /etc/rc.subr
name="hath"
rcvar=${name}_enable
hath_chdir="/config"
load_rc_config $name

: ${hath_enable:="NO"}
: ${hath_user:="hath"}
: ${hath_group:="hath"}
: ${hath_data_dir:="/config"}

pidfile_child="${hath_data_dir}/${name}.pid"
pidfile="${hath_data_dir}/${name}_daemon.pid"

command="/usr/sbin/daemon"
start_precmd="${name}_prestart"
#procname="java" #not all ports correctly parse this in daemon form so I have removed it


hath_prestart() {

        rc_flags="-r -P ${pidfile} -p ${pidfile_child} /usr/local/bin/java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar /config/hath.jar >> /dev/null 2>&1 ${rc_flags}"

}

run_rc_command "$1"

7)don't forget to fix permissions of files in H@H path (owner:group should be H@H user) and the new script (u+x should be fine). Also make sure rc.conf contains ATLEAST hath_enable="YES"
8)start the service: service hath start
9)enjoy!

EDIT: updated packages for 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 openjdk8 is REQUIRED

ONE update to this for HATH 1.6.0 Stable:
openjdk8 is now required as openjdk7 will not work!

Forgot to pin this one. now it is up.

It is pretty good, notably the pid file lock.

No updates needed for 1.6.1 other than me being too lazy to rewrite this to add support for "status" which is also not supported by all ports.

After I wrote my own one, I finally find that there is a successor working in FreeBSD.
