Thanks, In my /etc/rc (4.4-RELEASE), from line 666: # For each valid dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh # case ${local_startup} in [Nn][Oo] | '') ;; *) # A whole bunch of lines starting every *.sh script in the # directories pointed to by ${local_startup} esac In my /etc/rc.conf: local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d" So every executable file ending in .sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d should be executed at boot time.
