Can't miss a chance to promote my article on rc.d scripting. :-)

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/rc-scripting/

I spent some time figuring out how different things in rc.d were
related to each other and failed to find that in existing docs,
hence the article.  Perhaps it should be read after the FreeBSD
Handbook chapter, which tells what is rc.d, and after the Porter's
Handbook chapter, which outlines how rc.d is linked with ports.
