I notice on FreeBSD 10.2-REL (also 10.3-RC2), executing:

service -e

results in the following appended to /var/log/messages:

"$ is not set properly" looks like a bug, but I'm wondering whether these
messages are necessary at all?

For example, I don't have growfs_enable set at all in rc.conf, so I'd have
thought that /usr/sbin/service would treat this as the same as
growfs_enable="NO".

Also, "not set properly" does not have the same meaning as "not set", so at the
very least the warning is erroneous.

Thanks.
