Wow, that's painful. :) The only reason you don't notice how painful
is because those two directories have only a few files. Much much more
efficient would be something like:

rc () {
	local script=$1
	shift

	if [ -x "/etc/rc.d/$script" ]; then
		/etc/rc.d/$script $*
	elif [ -x "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/$script" ]; then
		/usr/local/etc/rc.d/$script $*
	else
		echo "$script does not exist in /etc/rc.d or"
		echo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d"
		return 1
	fi
}


hth,

Doug
