State-Changed-Why: 

The way to do what you are suggesting here is:

command=/usr/sbin/daemon
command_args="/usr/local/sbin/logsurfer $logsurfer_flags"

While the idea you present here is creative, I don't think
that it happens often enough in practice to warrant inclusion
in rc.subr. 

In the future, you may find it useful to submit ideas like
this to the freebsd-rc@freebsd.org mailling list before
sending them as a PR. 

Doug
