Description: #
With the change to a new rc system in FreeBSD 5.x, common routines for starting, stopping, and restarting daemons was placed into /etc/rc.subr. this makes it easier to write new startup/shutdown scripts and to have them ordered correctly with rcorder. While FreeBSD < 5.x won't be able to take advantage of rcorder. We can take advantage of the simplified startup/shutdown scripts by using rc.subr.

sysutils/rc_subr has not been needed for a long time, all supported
versions of FreeBSD now contain /etc/rc.subr in the base. Version
1.636 of bsd.port.mk removed support for the RC_SUBR and RC_SUBR_SUFFIX
macros, so this is the last of the old infrastructure to go.
