An rc.d script without rcvar set will run unconditionally at system start time. See ports/180182 for an example.

holy cobwebs batman! this PR is old. can we close this as WONTFIX if we arent gonna? i just filed PR ports/225262 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225262

porter's handbook section 6.27 already shows $rcvar being set, maybe we should just add a sentence to drive the point that it isn't optional.
Comment 4 Chris Rees freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-17 19:13:18 UTC 
Not a bug, as Doug explained below.  Please file a PR against the port if the port RC file misbehaves.

Thanks Milios for digging this one up :)
