where are /usr/local/etc/rc.d init scripts run from?

Ok, looking in localpkg, I see this.

pkg_start()
{
    # For each dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh
    #
    case ${local_startup} in
    [Nn][Oo] | '')
        ;;
    *)
        echo -n 'Local package initialization:'
        slist=""
        if [ -z "${script_name_sep}" ]; then
            script_name_sep=" "
        fi
        for dir in ${local_startup}; do
            if [ -d "${dir}" ]; then
                for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
                    slist="${slist}${script_name_sep}${script}"
                done
            fi
        done
        script_save_sep="$IFS"
        IFS="${script_name_sep}"
        for script in ${slist}; do
            if [ -x "${script}" ]; then
                (set -T
                trap 'exit 1' 2
                ${script} start)
            elif [ -f "${script}" -o -L "${script}" ]; then
                echo -n " (skipping ${script##*/}, not executable)"
            fi
        done
        IFS="${script_save_sep}"
        echo '.'
        ;;
    esac
}

So rcorder is not used for the rc scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d? That
explains much, since I have a runsvstat.sh script needed to start
runit, and a script to start one of its services starts with an 'm'
and is executing first, which I don't want.

Why is rcorder not used on these files as well? It's such a good system.

Ok, thanks.
