# 259040 06-Dec-2013 cperciva

MFC r258894: Make rc(8) re-source rc.conf upon receipt of SIGALRM.

The rc system aggressively caches the contents of /etc/rc.conf in order to
improve boot performance; this produces arguably astonishing (non-)results
if /etc/rc.conf is modified during the boot process. This commit provides
a mechanism for explicitly requesting that rc.conf be reloaded.

Approved by: re (rodrigc)


# 256916 22-Oct-2013 cperciva

MFC r256775,r256776:
Add support for "first boot" rc.d scripts.

Document this new functionality in rc.conf(5) and rc(8).

Bump __FreeBSD_version so that ports can make use of this.
