You should actually convert your old script to a ``rc.d'' script,
that's how they are called now.

Also, if your script is rc.d compatible you should use:
USE_RC_SUBR=script (without .sh)
For now it doesn't matter because bsd.port.mk install all USE_RC_SUBR
scripts with .sh extension, but see below
