I've updated the patch and extended it a little: https://phabric.freebsd.org/D451 It can now print the rc options for a service. It needs however to have the options listed as comments between the KEYWORDS section and the sourcing of /etc/rc.subr. And I've made some changes to rc.subr itself: https://phabric.freebsd.org/D452 So now you can use # service sshd describe Secure Shell Daemon and # service sshd extracommands configtest keygen reload Sorry for the mess in phabricator's SUMMARY. I will learn the markup syntax later...
