Ah, ok. Thank you! It works ..

Note: after reading up, above rc.conf variable is the "shutdown soft limit"=
.

There is also a "shutdown hard limit", which can be set

kern.init_shutdown_timeout

and which defaults to 120s.

So when using

rcshutdown_timeout > 120

one needs to set

kern.init_shutdown_timeout >=3D rcshutdown_timeout

also.
