[techtalk] Partial execution of /etc/rc.d/rc.M

[K. Ziel]

If you're using VI, you can use :l (colon small-L) while on a suspect line and
it should show you the invisible characters...hit <enter> and it will return to
normal

Alternatively, you can use :set list ( colon set list) and it will do the same
thing except for the entire file....<haven't checked on how to get outta this,
except i'm thinking that perhaps :unset list (colon unset list) might do
it..????
