[Bug 282324] Utilities used by FreeBSD-rc-14.1 RC Scripts require dragging in bloated utilities

            Bug ID: 282324
           Summary: Utilities used by FreeBSD-rc-14.1 RC Scripts require
                    dragging in bloated utilities
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jeff+freebsd@wagsky.com

I had hoped that the "core" rc scripts in FreeBSD-rc-14.1 would be covered by
either FreeBSD-runtime-14.1p5 or FreeBSD-rescue-14.1p5. However it appears that
at least `tr` and `utx` are called by these scripts in their default
configuration. They result in apparently untrapped errors:

eval: tr: not found
eval: utx: not found

rather than apparently trapped ones that generate a warning:

/etc/rc: WARNING: /etc/newsyslog.conf is not readable.
/etc/rc: WARNING: run_rc_command: cannot run /usr/sbin/syslogd
/etc/rc: WARNING: run_rc_command: cannot run /usr/sbin/cron

---

At a minimum, I believe the base rc scripts should terminate gracefully if the
utilities are not present. 

Ideally, common utilities used by rc scripts would be available in a reasonably
compact package or added to /rescue so that FreeBSD-utilities doesn't need to
be dragged in.

Testing using filesystem generated by
https://github.com/dfr/freebsd-images/blob/main/build-minimal.sh and run using
`jail` on a ZFS clone
