Yes, I meant to ask about that...

=2ESh HISTORY
The
=2ENm
system first appeared in its current form
=2EPo
with scripts run at both boot time and shutdown time
=2EPc
in
=2EFx 5.0 ,
though it has existed in a more basic form since
=2EFx 2.2 .

This is what I got from the RCS logs of src/etc/rc, but if anyone knows
better...

Also, the .Nd line was shamelessly stolen from rc(8), which should
probably be fixed.  I don't really like the SYNOPSIS either, but rc(8)
does the same sort of thing.
