Hmm...I'm pretty sure I know what REQUIRE means.  It means that you don't=20
want your script to start until the REQUIREd items have been started.

I solved the problem by using the full path in the script.  Originally it=20
had "exec tclsh8.4".  I patched it to have "exec /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4",=20
and it starts fine on boot now.   Obviously PATH didn't have /usr/local/bin =

in it at the time the script was being initiated.
