Thanks for your reply :-)

I would rather keep the nice checks of the default stop behavior (from
rc.subr)...

So I tried stop_precmd=3D"$command -r" instead of stop_cmd=3D"$command -r=
", but
it does not work very well, as dhclient -r already stops dhclient (and I
guess a stop precommand should not stop the service by itself).

I would like to keep the checks of the default stop command, then try
dhclient -r, and if that did not stop dhclient then kill it, and finally
go on with the default stop behavior (wait_for_pids).

Do I have a better option than writing the whole thing (with inspiration
from rc.subr)?

Thanks, I didn't know about /etc/rc.conf.d/, it's nice :-)
