For scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d You should add an entry to /etc/ rc.conf. For example, if You script is somedaemon.sh, then add somedaemon_enable='YES' to /etc/rc.conf and it will run at the next boot.


but his scripts don't use rc-ng, so this is pointless.

they should just work if they end in .sh and are executable.

I'm certain this is documented somewhere, but danged if I can find it.

I have a whole variety of custom scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  For
years now, simply giving them a name ending in .sh and making them
executable has been sufficient to make them start on boot.

On 5.x, it's not.  And now, having upgraded to 4.11-s on some older
boxes and running portupgrade -a, it's not.

Obviously these scripts need something else.  There's no fancy rcNG
infrastructure in them; is rcNG a requirement for startup scripts now?
Any pointers on where I can find the right documentation?

Thanks,
