1. Add new functionality to the force_depend method to incorporate the
tests for whether the service is enabled and/or already running.
2. Add a new option to bypass checking only that the service is enabled
at boot time, and always check if it is running.
3. Use this new functionality to greatly simplify the rc.d scripts that
use force_depend.
4. Add a force_depend for statd in lockd
5. Remove the check that either nfs_server or nfs_client is _enable'd
from statd and lockd. This was always overkill, and prevented using
the {one|force}start options, as well as stop'ing on the command line.
6. The yp* scripts had some of their arguments in various weird orders.
Bring them into line with the model.
7. If mountd fails to create /var/db/mountdtab, err out.
Ideas, suggestions, and/or review from delphij and jilles.
Pointy hats are completely my responsibility however.
The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
Document the current semantics of the 'quiet' command prefix
in the rc.subr(8).
Fix dhclient rc.d script: it should not call err() for
non-DHCP-enabled interface when it is called from devd, because the
latter just blindly calls 'service dhclient quietstart' on each "link
up" event.
Since the 'quietstart' will silence the message "Cannot 'start' <foo>.
Set <foo>_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of
'start'." and running dhclient on the non-DHCP-enabled interface is
the same thing as running the service <foo> without <foo>_enable set,
such modification is in sync with the current semantics of the 'quiet'
prefix.

in a fork(), even if it is the only command and only executes a single

that is running even though not _enable'd had an annoying side effect.
If the service was already started at boot time by another means when
the related script came around again in rcorder it would start again,
regardless of _enable, because there was a valid pid. [1]
So, split the test into 2 parts, one for (!rcvar && !stop), and one
for (stop && !valid_pid). This preserves the behavior from r206686
while preventing the undesired side effect.

By loading the values in the environment this is reduced to 1, with
perhaps a couple more, again depending on what is enabled.
The speed-up for boot and shutdown is negligible when rc.conf is
on local disk, noticable when accessing files over NFS, and dramatic
when pulling rc.conf values from a database.
This change also includes a minor optimization to the conditional

therefore return true even if the process isn't actually running.
This could lead to wait_for_pids() printing an endless string of the
pid number until the zombie finally exits.
Solve this problem by moving the sleep up to after the 'kill -0' test, but
only after we've run through the function once already. In the common case
(only one pid in the list) this will always do the right thing. On the rare
occasion that there is more than one pid in the list this will sleep 1
second per zombie process which will allow that process, and any other
in the list a chance to exit.
While I'm here, local'ize the variables that this function uses.
This waits for the requested process(es) to terminate, rather than polling
with an interval of 2 seconds.
If pwait is not available, the old method is used.

employ a more generic solution, and use it in the individual rc.d scripts
that also have an $rc_quiet test:
1. Add check_startmsgs() to rc.subr.
2. In the rc.d scripts that use rc_quiet (and rc.subr) substitute
variations of [ -z "$rc_quiet" ] with check_startmsgs
3. In savecore add a trailing '.' to the end of the message to make it
more consistent with other scripts.
4. In newsyslog remove a : before the terminal '.' since we do not expect
there to be anything printed out in between to make it more consistent.
5. In the following scripts change "quotes" to 'quotes' where no variables
exist in the message: savecore pf newsyslog
6. In the following scripts substitute if/then/fi for the simpler (and
more consistent) check_startmsgs &&: faith stf
7. In the following scripts separate the "Starting foo:" from the terminal
'.' to make them more consistent: moused hostname pf
8. In nfsclient move the message to its own line to avoid a style bug
9. In pf rc_quiet does not apply to the _stop method, so remove the
test there.
10. In motd add 'quotes' around the terminal '.' for consistency
and $desc.
The set_rcvar_obsolete() is for displaying an obsolete variable
and the new one. More specifically, a warning is displayed when
a variable is removed or changed in the source tree and the user
still defines the old one.
$router* and $ipv6_router* are replaced with $routed_* and
$route6d_* for consistency. The old variables still work but
can be removed in the future.

Implement a quiet prefix, which will disable some diagnostics. The

Implement the checks for required_* objects as two functions, one
to be run before precmd and the other after it. They get the current
rc command as an argument so they can choose what requirement tests
to perform. As of now, only "start" needs such tests.
Implement a new requirement variable, required_modules. It can
list kernel modules that need to be loaded after start_precmd
indicated success. Each name in the list can be just "file", or
"file:module", or "file~regex". This will allow us to remove a lot
of duplicated code from rc.d scripts.
Perform the checks not only for the default start method, but for
any method. This allows for more flexibility and fixes a few rc.d
scripts (namely newsyslog, pf, sendmail) that rely on a required_*
variable while providing a non-default start method.
To be able to call the new check_required* functions naturally,
remove lots of crufty duplicated code pieces from run_rc_command
and replace each of them by a call to the helper function providing
a single corrected instance of the respective code snippet. Now
run_rc_command isn't as scary as it used to be, and it even appears
to have quite a nice logic that was obscured by the old crufty code.
In the default handler for restart, run start from a subshell to
