I'm certain this is documented somewhere, but danged if I can find it.

I have a whole variety of custom scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  For
years now, simply giving them a name ending in .sh and making them
executable has been sufficient to make them start on boot.

On 5.x, it's not.  And now, having upgraded to 4.11-s on some older
boxes and running portupgrade -a, it's not.

Obviously these scripts need something else.  There's no fancy rcNG
infrastructure in them; is rcNG a requirement for startup scripts now?
Any pointers on where I can find the right documentation?

Thanks,

==ml
