Not really:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: DEBUG: checkyesno: sguild_enable is set to
YES. Starting sguild.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: DEBUG: run_rc_command: doit: su -m sguil -c
'sh  -c "/usr/local/bin/sguild -D -P /var/run/sguild/sguild.pid "'
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: unknown directive '/usr/local/bin/sguild'.
Usage: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild
[fast|force|one|quiet](start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll)
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: WARNING: failed to start sguild

The key to the problem is the unknown directive error.  For some reason
rc.subr thinks the script it's trying to start is /usr/local/bin/sguild
instead of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild.

I just can't figure out why it thinks that.


Hmmm. A quick grep shows nothing germane in the source base saying
"unknown directive".  That makes me think it's tcl saying that (but I
don't have it installed to test).  In your /usr/local/bin/sguild script,
trying changing the "$0" "$@" to be just "$@" (just a guess, since the
contents of $0 seem to match exactly what's echoed after 'unknown
directive').


I finally figure it out.  I have to edit the program to change this:
#!/bin/sh
exec tclsh "$0" "$@"

to this:
#!/usr/local/bin/tcslsh8.5

Then everything works as expected.

I'm sure now that the 'exec tclsh "$0" "$@"' line was confusing rc.subr.
