# 208307 19-May-2010 dougb

This change does the following for the scripts that run up through
FILESYSTEMS (the default early_late_divider):
1. Move sysctl to run first
2. Move as many BEFOREs to REQUIREs as possible.
3. Minor effect, move hostid_save from right before mdconfig to right
after.

A lot of the early scripts make use of sysctl one way or another so
running this first makes a lot of sense given that system-critical
values are often placed in sysctl.conf.

My original purpose for working on this was that while doing some
debugging on other stuff I noticed that the order of execution was
different in the first pass through the early scripts and the second.
In practice that doesn't matter because the scripts are not executed the
second time. However this _can_ result in problems if the difference in
the rcorder moves a script from the late section to the early section in
the second pass (which would mean the script would not get executed).
So, I wanted to make the order of execution of the scripts in the early
section more deterministic.

In the course of debugging the ordering problems I noticed that moving
the BEFOREs to REQUIREs prevented the changes in order from the first
pass to the second pass without having to make any substantial changes.
(Of course it's no secret that I think BEFORE should be avoided as much
as possible, but this is a good example of why.)

# 197947 10-Oct-2009 dougb

In regards to the "Starting foo:" type messages at boot time, create and
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


# 182460 29-Aug-2008 jhb

Add the ability to run /usr/sbin/crashinfo on a new core dump automatically
during boot. Right now this is disabled by default, but it can be enabled
by setting 'crashinfo_enable=YES' in rc.conf.

MFC after: 2 weeks


# 180318 06-Jul-2008 mtm

Remove the $DUMPDIR variable. It's redundant and the rest of the
script uses $dumpdir directly.


# 180317 06-Jul-2008 mtm

Make checking for the availability of core dumps work in the case
that $dumpdev is not set to "AUTO".

Reported by: Paul B. Mahol <onemda@gmail.com>


# 179962 23-Jun-2008 mtm

Run savecore(8) only if there is a core dump to save. If there is
no core dump hide the message to that effect behind $rc_quiet.


# 179945 23-Jun-2008 mtm

Move a lot of diagnostic output behind $rc_quiet in scripts that
implement their own start command.


# 174438 08-Dec-2007 dougb

Remove $NetBSD$ CVS tags. We no longer attempt to synch our rc.d files
with theirs, so this information doesn't need to be in the live file.
Having it in our CVS history is enough.


# 136901 24-Oct-2004 des

- use `realpath /dev/dumpdev` instead of just /dev/dumpdev so messages
will show the real device name
- show different error messages for missing dump device and directory


# 136684 18-Oct-2004 thomas

When dumpdev is set to 'auto', and a suitable swap device is found,
create a symbolic link /dev/dumpdev designating that device so
savecore can find and save a previous kernel dump.


# 136224 07-Oct-2004 mtm

Remove the requirement for the FreeBSD keyword as it no longer
makes any sense.

Discussed with: dougb, brooks
MFC after: 3 days


# 127171 18-Mar-2004 davidc

Echo and pass dumpdev as the device argument to savecore.

PR: bin/51655


# 126744 08-Mar-2004 pjd

Mark scripts as not usable inside a jail by adding keyword 'nojail'.

# 124622 17-Jan-2004 mtm

Luke Mewburn has indicated that they (NetBSD) are not interested
in keeping the scripts under rc.d in sync with us. So, remove
NetBSD specific stuff (which made our scripts more complicated
than necessary).

The NetBSD ident string will be left intact, both for history and
also incase we wish to pull in future versions.


# 124616 17-Jan-2004 mtm

Luke Mewburn has indicated that they (NetBSD) are not interested
in keeping the scripts under rc.d in sync with us. So, begin removal
of NetBSD specific stuff (which made our scripts more complicated
than necessary), starting with the NetBSD KEYWORD.


# 103019 06-Sep-2002 gordon

Convert from `${CMD_OSTYPE}` to ${OSTYPE}. This saves a shell invocation on
OS-dependent case switches.


# 98184 13-Jun-2002 gordon

Merge in all the changes that Mike Makonnen has been maintaining for a
while. This is only the script pieces, the glue for the build comes next.

# 78345 16-Jun-2001 obrien

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r78344,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 78344 16-Jun-2001 obrien

Import the NetBSD 1.5 RC system.

Note that `rc' and `rc.shutdown' could not be imported because we already
have files with those names.
