It's preferred that the PROVIDE line, $name variable, and the name of the
script all match. So, unless the service will be called webcit-ssl if it's
launched that way, the answer is that one script is better.

If I were you, I'd approach the problem this way (assuming that without SSL
is the more common case):

#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: webcit
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf
# to enable this service:
#
# webcit_enable (bool):	Set to NO by default.
# 			Set it to YES to enable webcit
# webcit_ssl (bool):	Set to YES to run SSL version too
#

. %%RC_SUBR%%

name=webcit
rcvar=${name}_enable

command="%%PREFIX%%/sbin/${name}"
command_args="-p80"

start_postcmd="${name}_poststart"

webcit_poststart()
{
	[ -n "$webcit_ssl" ] && $command -p443 -s
}

load_rc_config $name

: ${webcit_enable="NO"}

run_rc_command "$1"



hope this helps,

Doug
