Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me.  Here's the current script:

. /etc/rc.subr

name="sguild"
load_rc_config ${name}
# set some defaults
sguild_enable=${sguild_enable:-"NO"}
sguild_conf=${sguild_conf:-"/usr/local/etc/sguild/sguild.conf"}
sguild_pid=${sguild_pid:-"/var/run/sguild/sguild.pid"}
sguild_flags=${sguild_flags:-"-D -P ${sguild_pid}"}
sguild_user=${sguild_user:-"sguil"}

command="/usr/local/bin/${name}"
command_args="-c ${sguild_conf} ${sguild_flags}"
procname="/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.5"
start_cmd="sguild_start"

sguild_start(){
    echo "starting sguild."
    /bin/sh ${command} ${command_args}
}

run_rc_command "$1"

When I run start, I get this:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild start
starting sguild.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: unknown directive '/usr/local/bin/sguild'.
Usage: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild 
[fast|force|one|quiet](start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll)

Status and stop work fine.

The "unknown directive is coming from line 913 in rc.subr:
        echo 1>&2 "$0: unknown directive '$rc_arg'."
        rc_usage $_keywords
        # not reached

rc_arg is (fast|force|one|quiet)(start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|poll).

This error:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild: unknown directive '/usr/local/bin/sguild'.

Seems to indicate that the rc.subr script thinks $0 is 
/usr/local/bin/sguild rather than /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sguild, which is odd 
to me.
