The following reply was made to PR conf/146255; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Alexander Best <alexbestms@uni-muenster.de> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: "Paweł, Kaczor" <paczor@fubar.pl>, John Baldwin <john@baldwin.cx> Subject: Re: conf/146255: periodic(8) emits repeated messages because of /usr/X11R6 link to /usr/local Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:14:15 +0200 fixed in HEAD, 8 and 7 by r170085. the commit message states: "It is not anticipated at this time that we will MFC this change, since we'd like to avoid breaking legacy systems. However, there is a fix for /etc/rc.subr in the works to avoid running any rc.d scripts twice which we should be able to MFC." i don't know if the patch to /etc/rc.subr that got mentioned in the commit message ever made it into RELENG_6 (or any other branch). however since the actual commit can't be merged into RELENG_6 for legacy reasons (as stated in the commit message of r170085) this pr should be closed. it would be interesting to know if in fact at some point in the past /etc/rc.subr got modified so rc.d scripts cannot be run twice. if this is the case this pr would have been solved by that change without the need for r170085. cheers. -- Alexander Best
