-broadcast-relay_env: bad variable name

[Ricardo-0101]

I believe I have configured this on pfsense 2.5.2 following the pfsense-config/README.md after making on freebsd 12.2. When attempting to start the service using sudo service udp-broadcast-relay.sh start the response is export: -broadcast-relay_env: bad variable name

I'll confess I don't really know what I'm doing but have had a dig through udp-broadcast-relay-redux.conf, udp-broadcast-relay.sh and main.c with no luck on finding where this variable is being set/exported.

@ajkavanagh what am I missing? There is a closed issue https://github.com/udp-redux/udp-broadcast-relay-redux/issues/14 which appears to show my exact problem

Hi @Ricardo-0101

It's due to the newer bsd not allowing '-' characters in the name. This is what #20 is fixing, but's not been merged yet due to needing doc updates. I should really merge it but I was hoping that the author of the PR would do the doc update; however I may have to do it instead.

In the meantime you could use his patched version which would get you going?

Hi @ajkavanagh

Yeah right I'll give efirestone/udp-broadcast-relay-redux fork a go. I see the difference now.

Thank you.

FYI I see one of the branches has doc changes in it although not showing as a commit against #20

Using efirestone/udp-broadcast-relay-redux fork which has name="udp-broadcast-relay" renamed to name="udp_broadcast_relay" in the udp-broadcast-relay.sh resolved this.

Thanks.

I think I'll re-open this until we've sorted this out in this version; thanks to @Ricardo-0101 for bringing it to attention.

This doesn't seem to have been resolved yet.
Does anyone know if this has been turned into a package in pfSense yet?

Thanks.

I'm getting exactly the same error while trying to run the efirestone/udp-broadcast-relay-redux fork :
service udp-broadcast-relay.sh start
export: -broadcast-relay_env: bad variable name

But at least the program starts "standalone" now, by using ./udp-broadcast-relay-redux

But what can be wrong since the service won't start?

Thanks

Never mind. I missed this post for some reason.
