[I'm catching up on a bunch of FreeBSD mail since being out on vacation, so
perhaps I've missed the essence of this thread..]
I've also had the desire to capture the output produced when /etc/rc is
run for all the reasons mentioned. I always thought that perhaps init
would simply capture stdout on the other end of a pipe, and logically do
the "tee" thing with it. In fact, couldn't init logically exec a
sh /etc/rc | tee /tmp/rc-output
when invoking /etc/rc? (Where to put the output would seem to be one
of the more difficult choices since you don't start with a writable file system
mounted anywhere..)
Or perhaps init could capture the output on the end of a pipe and
subsequently syslog it while it's echoing it to /dev/console.
