I second that. IMVHO it is worthwhile to keep (or "back to") traditional
/etc/rc.local behaviour by:
- removing /etc/rc.d/local service
- put something like following into /etc/rc (it is a matter of discusion
that /etc/rc.local should be overriden by RC_FILES_OVERRIDE or not.
IMHO should):
files=$(rcorder -s nostart ${rc_rcorder_flags} ${scripts})
+ files="$files /etc/rc.local"
print_rc_metadata "cmd-status:rcorder:$?"
if [ -n "${RC_FILES_OVERRIDE}" ]; then
files="${RC_FILES_OVERRIDE}"
fi
Ensuring that /etc/rc.local in -current will be started after all other
services requires editing about a 19 files on vanilla system and still
is prone to uncontrolled changes after installing custom packages.
For example my musings with xdm (I wanted xdm as a last service) leads
to modifying following files. And I'm not happy with overall result.
LOGINMGR <- barrier for xdm service
wsmoused <- # BEFORE: LOGINMGR
sshd
raidframeparity
moused
mixerctl
httpd
hostapd
postfix
ndbootd
isibootd
iscsi_target
ip6addrctl
inetd
identd
ftpd
envsys
cron
xdm <- # REQUIRE: DAEMON LOGINMGR wscons
