This is a quite bad idea, because rc.conf will be included everytime an 
rc script is called. This means that your command line will be executed 
several times if you just call "/etc/rc.d/inetd restart" for example.

# echo 'echo "hello world"' >> /etc/rc.conf

# /etc/rc.d/inetd forcerestart
hello world
hello world
inetd not running? (check /var/run/inetd.pid).
hello world
Starting inetd.
