It seems I was mistaken. As far as rcorder goes, an empty script is
just as good as a single null command:
% cat precedence
#!/bin/sh
#
# Persuade postgresql to start before spamassassin.
# PROVIDE: precedence
# REQUIRE: postgresql
# BEFORE: spamd
% rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* | grep -E
'postgresql|precedence|sa-spamd'
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/precedence
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd
Hey -- I saved a whole two bytes. Woohoo!
Cheers,
Matthew
