16 I find obscure man pages like this: $qlist openrc |grep man

18 The openrc package includes about twenty man pages, all of which look like

21 I (re)discovered the RC_DEBUG variable like this: $grep -ri debug /lib64/rc/*
22 I say rediscover because I remember using it years ago when I was playing with
