It's easier to hack the sysctl binary itself, but I understand
your concern.
How about something like this:
#!/bin/sh
SYSCTL=/sbin/sysctl
for ARG in $@
do
if [ "$ARG" = "kern.osreldate" ]
then
KERN_OSRELDATE=1
elif [ "$ARG" = "-n" ]
then
NUMERIC=1
fi
done
if [ ! -z "$KERN_OSRELDATE" ]
then
if [ -z "$NUMERIC" ]
then
printf "kern.osreldate: "
fi
awk '/^#define __FreeBSD_version/ {print $3}' /usr/include/sys/param.h
exit 0
fi
$SYSCTL $@
return $?
