You mean /sbin/rc ?
Its just a script that can change or merely show the state of every
script in /etc/rc.d/ . Plus its only 50 LOC in bash and it even
includes usage examples. You should just read it. Its not replacing
anything. 

PS. The aur-general mailing list is not the place for this kind of
questions. Please continue to arch-general.
