# run_rc_command argument
#	Search for argument in the list of supported commands, which is:
#		"start stop restart rcvar status poll ${extra_commands}"
#	If there's a match, run ${argument}_cmd or the default method
#	(see below).
#
#	If argument has a given prefix, then change the operation as follows:
#		Prefix	Operation
#		------	---------
#		fast	Skip the pid check, and set rc_fast=yes
#		force	Set ${rcvar} to YES, and set rc_force=yes
#		one	Set ${rcvar} to YES
#
#	The following globals are used:
#
#	Name		Needed	Purpose
#	----		------	-------
#	name		y	Name of script.
#
#	command		n	Full path to command.
#				Not needed if ${rc_arg}_cmd is set for
#				each keyword.
#
#	command_args	n	Optional args/shell directives for command.
#
#	command_interpreter n	If not empty, command is interpreted, so
#				call check_{pidfile,process}() appropriately.
#
#	extra_commands	n	List of extra commands supported.
#
#	pidfile		n	If set, use check_pidfile $pidfile $command,
#				otherwise use check_process $command.
#				In either case, only check if $command is set.
#
#	procname	n	Process name to check for instead of $command.
#
#	rcvar		n	This is checked with checkyesno to determine
#				if the action should be run.
#
#	${name}_chroot	n	Directory to chroot to before running ${command}
#				Requires /usr to be mounted.
#
#	${name}_chdir	n	Directory to cd to before running ${command}
#				(if not using ${name}_chroot).
#
#	${name}_flags	n	Arguments to call ${command} with.
#				NOTE:	$flags from the parent environment
#					can be used to override this.
#
#	${name}_env	n	Additional environment variable settings
#				for running ${command}
#
#	${name}_nice	n	Nice level to run ${command} at.
#
#	${name}_user	n	User to run ${command} as, using su(1) if not
#				using ${name}_chroot.
#				Requires /usr to be mounted.
#
#	${name}_group	n	Group to run chrooted ${command} as.
#				Requires /usr to be mounted.
#
#	${name}_groups	n	Comma separated list of supplementary groups
#				to run the chrooted ${command} with.
#				Requires /usr to be mounted.
#
#	${rc_arg}_cmd	n	If set, use this as the method when invoked;
#				Otherwise, use default command (see below)
#
#	${rc_arg}_precmd n	If set, run just before performing the
#				${rc_arg}_cmd method in the default
#				operation (i.e, after checking for required
#				bits and process (non)existence).
#				If this completes with a non-zero exit code,
#				don't run ${rc_arg}_cmd.
#
#	${rc_arg}_postcmd n	If set, run just after performing the
#				${rc_arg}_cmd method, if that method
#				returned a zero exit code.
#
#	required_dirs	n	If set, check for the existence of the given
#				directories before running the default
#				(re)start command.
#
#	required_files	n	If set, check for the readability of the given
#				files before running the default (re)start
#				command.
#
#	required_vars	n	If set, perform checkyesno on each of the
#				listed variables before running the default
#				(re)start command.
#
#	Default behaviour for a given argument, if no override method is
#	provided:
#
#	Argument	Default behaviour
#	--------	-----------------
#	start		if !running && checkyesno ${rcvar}
#				${command}
#
#	stop		if ${pidfile}
#				rc_pid=$(check_pidfile $pidfile $command)
#			else
#				rc_pid=$(check_process $command)
#			kill $sig_stop $rc_pid
#			wait_for_pids $rc_pid
#			($sig_stop defaults to TERM.)
#
#	reload		Similar to stop, except use $sig_reload instead,
#			and doesn't wait_for_pids.
#			$sig_reload defaults to HUP.
#
#	restart		Run `stop' then `start'.
#
#	status		Show if ${command} is running, etc.
#
#	poll		Wait for ${command} to exit.
#
#	rcvar		Display what rc.conf variable is used (if any).
#
#	Variables available to methods, and after run_rc_command() has
#	completed:
#
#	Variable	Purpose
#	--------	-------
#	rc_arg		Argument to command, after fast/force/one processing
#			performed
#
#	rc_flags	Flags to start the default command with.
#			Defaults to ${name}_flags, unless overridden
#			by $flags from the environment.
#			This variable may be changed by the precmd method.
#
#	rc_pid		PID of command (if appropriate)
#
#	rc_fast		Not empty if "fast" was provided (q.v.)
#
#	rc_force	Not empty if "force" was provided (q.v.)
#
