Description Michel Lavondes 2004-06-28 19:20:13 UTC 
${name}_program in a startup script using rc.subr will silently override $command. This patch assumes the behavior is intended and documents it.

This is known to happen using the sysutils/rc_subr port on 4.x, but probably happens on 5.x with rcNG too.

How-To-Repeat: man 8 rc.subr

Taking this PR because I fiddled with the relation between 
$command and $foo_program in rc.subr.
