Fix Recommendation

Edit the run control scripts' library preload list and remove relative paths.

Check Contents

Verify run control scripts' library preload list using command:

# grep -r LDR_PRELOAD /etc/rc*
/etc/rc.teboot:export LDR_PRELOAD=/../usr/bin
/etc/rc.teboot:export LDR_PRELOAD=/usr/bin

This variable is formatted as a colon-separated list of paths.

If there is an empty entry, such as a leading or trailing colon, or two consecutive colons, this is a finding.

If an entry begins with a character other than a slash (/) or other than "$PATH", it is a relative path, and this is a finding.
