However /etc/rc actually assumes that all startup scripts also support at least faststart and quietstart, and this is entirely undocumented. One cannot reasonably assume that all local startup scripts, including those for 3rd party software, will rely on run_rc_command, so we should make sure that scripts supporting only the documented commands are properly handled. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
