I tried rc-update originally but got an error message which is why I
manually made the link.
I removed the webctrl link and rc-update as you detailed and it worked this
time, but ...
When I boot I get:
Usage: /sbin/rc { start | stop}
And the service is not running.
Could this be a script error in the webservice.sh provided by the app
vendor?
Thanks for all your help.

I would imagine that the init system of Gentoo expects the links in
/etc/runlevels/... to have the same name as the script they link to.
So to get proper behaviour:
ln -sf /etc/init.d/webservice.sh /etc/runlevels/default/webservice.sh
(or "rc-update add webservice.sh default")
Then remove /etc/runlevels/default/webctrl
That should fix it...
