I have a script which is launched in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and it needed that path. According to the manual (FreeBSD 4.1) : "The rc.d directories contain scripts which will be automatically executed at boot time. The specified directories are processed immediately after rc.local is executed. (See below for details on how to specify directo=AD ries to check.) " It seems to me that this is not true. At the point the script from the rc.d folder is launched, the content of=20 the PATH variable is as specified in /etc/rc, even if I have added the right=20 settings in /etc/rc.local. Since it's recommended =5Fnot=5F to modify /etc/rc, where should I alter the PATH variable to be effective at startup time (when launching /etc/rc.d)?
