Description Dirk Sondermann 2015-03-29 23:59:39 UTC

As long as rc_verbose is not set to yes in rc.conf, /etc/init.d/local
calls the scripts in /etc/local.d with the three arguments ">",
"/dev/null" and "2>&1".

This is a consequence of an attempt to fix bug 537444. The lines in
start() and stop() that execute the scripts now read
  "${file}" $redirect
where $redirect is either empty (for rc_verbose=yes) or contains
"> /dev/null 2>&1" (for rc_verbose=no). But, of course, in the latter
case $redirect is not treated as a redirection but its words are
passed as arguments to ${file}.

TEST
Set rc_verbose=no in rc.conf und put the script
  #!/bin/bash
  echo args = $*
in /etc/init.d/local.

RESULT
The content of $redirect is displayed:
  * Starting local ...
  args = > /dev/null 2>&1
