after upgrading 3 machines, i noticed that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
scipts get exectued twice. does anyone have a fix for it ?

This had been discussed/mentioned on ports@ mailing list, and
possibly on questions@ too; search for Doug Barton's messages during
the last month.

In short term, set local_startup & possibly local_periodic to the

You see $local_startup currently, at least on 6-STABLE, is set to
/usr/{X11R6,local}. And after the X11 Windows System update to xorg
7.x, /usr/X11R6 would be a symbolic link to /usr/local (if you had

... for some reason the patch had been stripped in message to @rc,
which I had initially sent to ports@. Note that above patch does
not deal with periodic scripts running twice (noticed wrt PostgreSQL
port).
