Description mwm 2001-08-16 12:40:00 UTC 
The rc(8) man page describes rc.d scripts, and even includes a sample
script. However, it only discuses the "start" option, and ignores the
"stop" option used by rc.shutdown.

Fix: The attached patch adds a description of the shutdown time
requirements for the scripts. It also extends the example to handle
"stop", and changes the error case to be a slightly more standard
"usage" message and to cause the script to indicate an error on exit.

There should be a better place to put this stuff, but I'm not sure
where that would be.
How-To-Repeat: 
	$ man rc

Fixed in a different way, by MFC'ing revision 1.11 from 5.0-CURRENT.
