It does make sense, because "rcorder" needs to read the scripts in
order to sort them according to their embedded tags *before* it runs
the first one.

If you search through the mail archives for tech-pkg, tech-userlevel,
and current-users, you'll find literally hundreds of messages on the
topic, including work-arounds and hacks for any possible thing you'd
like to do, from chaining "rc" to putting a time of "@reboot" in your
crontab. Please review the archives before re-opening the discussion.
