I'm not sure if this is valid anymore, but I think it's also
neccessary that a *.sh script is chmod +x, or it won't be
executed at startup. These scripts are located in /usr/local/etc.
The rc-style scripts ("foo { start | stop | restart | status }")
are located in the rc.d/ subdirectory, just like in /etc. They
usually have a corresponging enable setting ("foo_enable") in
/etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local (see "man rc.conf"), as well
as means to set parameters ("foo_flags" or something specific).
