The rc.d/init system used by #FreeBSD and #Alpine allow a chain of script invocation to do the work.
This design would allow for more testable binaries or other scripting languages, which aren't as runs-with-scissors dangerous as (ba)sh.
While bash scripts don't _typically_ delete your trusted data, I've seen empty variable expansion pwn a number of people running all types of scripts.
rc.d/init can easily use something not named for what you do to your head after using it.
Why don't we?
