Hello.  I have been reading the docs but i can see what i'm doing wrong.  I 
also was to read this 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-starting-services.html 
but I am not running a service, just some command that need to be run on 
start up.

I have a shell script that works when i run it as root. I have moved it to 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d and chmod +x but it is not running when the pc starts. 
Is moving file to usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and chmod +x all i have to do?

Any ideas would be great. many thanks to you.
Mik
