	There are a couple of ways to do this. My personal favorite method
is to put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called "thing-to-start.sh" that
does whatever you need it to do in order to start up your thing. No
further action is necessary as the /etc/rc* scripts know how to handle
those kinds of scripts.

	No way to know what you have installed on your system there. The
apache distribution creates binaries called httpd if it's not modified.

Good luck,

Doug
