Alex,
I have redirected your question to FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org. It is the place to ask common questions about FreeBSD.
To start any application automatically at boot time, write a short shell script named <appName.sh>, make it executable and owned by root, and drop it into /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/. Most ports do this for you if they need to start up daemons at boot time. TRhe squid 2.3-port automagically produces this startup script:
---<snip here>--
#!/bin/sh
if ! PREFIX=$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/RunCache -a -f ${PREFIX}/etc/squid/squid.conf ];
then
(cd /tmp; ${PREFIX}/sbin/RunCache >/dev/null 2>&1 &) ; echo -n '
squid'
fi
;;
stop)
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
;;
esac
exit 0
---<snip here>---
using /etc/rc.conf.local to start up userland apps is no longer redcommended.
