No joy:

+ _doit=$' limits -C daemon su -m nobody -c \'sh -c "/usr/sbin/daemon  -f -p /var/run/node_exporter.pid -T node_exporter     /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/node_exporter     --web.listen-address=:9100     --collector.textfile.directory=/var/tmp/node_exporter     --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points="^/(dev)(\\$|/)""\''
+ _run_rc_doit $' limits -C daemon su -m nobody -c \'sh -c "/usr/sbin/daemon  -f -p /var/run/node_exporter.pid -T node_exporter     /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/node_exporter     --web.listen-address=:9100     --collector.textfile.directory=/var/tmp/node_exporter     --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points="^/(dev)(\\$|/)""\''
+ debug $'run_rc_command: doit:  limits -C daemon su -m nobody -c \'sh -c "/usr/sbin/daemon  -f -p /var/run/node_exporter.pid -T node_exporter     /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/node_exporter     --web.listen-address=:9100     --collector.textfile.directory=/var/tmp/node_exporter     --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points="^/(dev)(\\$|/)""\''
+ eval $' limits -C daemon su -m nobody -c \'sh -c "/usr/sbin/daemon  -f -p /var/run/node_exporter.pid -T node_exporter     /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/node_exporter     --web.listen-address=:9100     --collector.textfile.directory=/var/tmp/node_exporter     --collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points="^/(dev)(\\$|/)""\''
