I know rcvar well enough and that force* feature too, what I don't like is=
=20
that sometimes from command line you'll never know if it is a problem with=
=20
wrong line in rc.conf or something else... Of course it is good if during=20
boot there is no useless messages scrolling. So, rcvar can't detect if it w=
as=20
launched bye rc or from shell?
