Some people are not only bugged, but change packages etc, for
example [1]

  +
  +    sed -i -e 's,egrep,grep -E,g' $PKG/usr/lib/postfix/postfix-{,tls-}script

Also /var/log/messages from "somewhere", which is locatable for my
sequential daemon startup script

  Feb 27 17:46:24 (none) /root/bin/net-qos.sh/START: Daemon postfix starting
  Feb 27 17:46:24 (none) /root/bin/net-qos.sh/START: In startup; postfix is 
picky, sleeping 5 to let devices settle
  Feb 27 17:46:24 (none) /root/bin/net-qos.sh/START: egrep: warning: egrep is 
obsolescent; using grep -E

but that may not be true on boxes with massively async startup.
