It will be nice not to touch rc.conf but rather use /etc/rc.conf.d

I'm a bit biased on that.
One big plus for FreeBSD is that you have all service config settings in a single /etc/rc.conf file.
On the other hand there are tools like puppet and ansible which can add separate files in a /etc/rc.conf.d/ directory.
I will see how to handle this.

Here's an updated patch.

It introduces the -s flag so that instead of /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.d/$script is used.

imho the default should be to not touch /etc/rc.conf and always use rc.conf.d

I strictly use rc.conf.local on my systems. The rc.conf is shared among all through a config management system. If I were to disable a service on 1 I expect it to use rc.conf.local (or at least not rc.conf) because my config management will just replace rc.conf back to the global one anyhow.

does bsdconfig(8) not handle this use case?

AFAIK it cannot. At least at the time of writing the patch.

I have an enhanced version of this patch for review

Reimplemented some of lme@'s changes to use newer features of sysrc

Added some new features of my own (-s to get the status of all enabled services)

Depends on D3551 for sysrc -s support

Update with feedback from Pierre Pronchery (netbsd)

and a run through http://www.shellcheck.net/

I'm fine with it.

But I don't think that it is a good idea to add new functionality and change `` to $() in one step.

I'm still a bit worried about the duplication with regard to sysrc(8)…

It's not really duplicated. I find it really useful to just run "service apache24 enable start" instead of running "sysrc apache24_enable=yes; service apache24 start"
