If you want to write  a script like this you can just give it a .sh
extension and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. There's more in the rc
manpage if you want to do it the modern way.

However, if your script is in /etc/rc.d (which is intended for system
rcng scripts) and is getting  faststart, but not faststop, then I'd be
interested to know. This has broken for me in the last week or so, and
I'd like to know whether it's a bug or a local problem.
