Thanks Jggimi. To clarify: by successfully entering rcctl commands once, they will persist for subsequent reboots of the system? Or do you mean that entering an rcctl command in the one boot session means it persists?

On that point, currently to shut down my OpenBSD laptop I type "exit" at the prompt before pressing the power button. Is there a command line entry for actually turning the laptop off?
