Enabling Linux support at Startup

[zugbug]

Hi all,

I have a question: how do I enable sysrc for the *host* at startup?
I need to run sysrc linux_enable="YES" every time my machine reboots, for a linux app. I would prefer to not have to run a dedicated virtual machine just for one app, but guides/recommendations are welcome.

My machine randomly reboots, I suspect a hardware issue, and when it comes back online the sysrc I changed in terminal gets reset.
Please advise.

Thank you

Set a RC.CONF type loadable in System->Tunables with variable linux_enable and value YES.

That works! Thank you.

Would you know if that guarantees that service linux start will run on startup as well then?

If /etc/rc.d/linux checks for the rc.conf value, then it should start.
