You don't need any command.  Depending on the version of FreeBSD, put your 
script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and if you are using earlier than 6.X FreeBSD 
name the script chckconfig.sh

You can name it in the same in 6.X and 7.X and it will work.

Be sure the script is chmod'd (usually 755) to execute.  Since your script 
runs without a known environment be sure to either use full pathnames for 
executables or set the path in your script.
