I looked thru all .rc files in ports and some scripts do use external 
tools like sed. So here is my version that catches both -y 
/path/to/config and --fpm-config /path/my.config

> _conf=$(echo "${daemon_flags}" | sed -E -n 's/.* (-y|--fpm-config) +([^ ]+).*/\2/p')
> pexp="php-fpm-8.4: master process \\(${_conf:-/etc/php-fpm.conf}\\).*"

If no options are set, it defaults to /etc/php-fpm.conf and should still 
match.
