Make the script executable, put a shebang in; #!/usr/bin/env tclsh
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.subr
name=tclshexample
rcvar=tclshexample_enable
load_rc_config $name
: ${tclshexample_enable=YES}
command="/usr/local/bin/dir/script"
command_interpreter=tclsh
command_args="-D -c /usr/local/etc/conffile"
run_rc_command $@
