Alexey,

yes, I also did it using a simple symlink in the past but reading
stable@ (or has it been hackers@?) it is planned (or already
implemented?) to respect the rcorder for /etc/rc.d/ _and_
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ in one go.

That means the rcorder is being calculated for both directories in
one step. I suspect when just symlinking an rc-script from
/etc/rc.d/ this might lead into the script being executed two times
in a row. I might be wrong on this but your suggestion is using a
side effect which might not work with all versions.

Greetings,

Volker
