Ok..
1) The best place to add "user" scripts is in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
directory. You make a little /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh file to run
that command. (this will save it from upgrade to upgrade). The files
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ are run after /etc/rc.* are done but before you
log in.
B) Your path is not initialized at that point. You should put the
explicit path to tcpserver in your startup script. This way it will not
require anything extra in the path to start it.
