creating a startup script for a foreign application

[Polytropon]

Allow me an addition:

You can find information about how to convert or construct
a rc.d script in The Porter's Handbook:

	6.26. Starting and Stopping Services (rc Scripts)

	https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/rc-scripts.html

But as you already have a script that works, it would
probably be easier to just create an "interface" to that
script. There is a section in the article "Practical rc.d
scripting in BSD" which might be helpful (and the article
itself is worth reading):

	https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/rc-scripting/index.html

Especially this section:

	7. Connecting a script to the rc.d framework

	https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/rc-scripting/rcng-hookup.html

I'm quite sure this is the easiest way to integrate the
existing and working script with the requirements of rc.d.
