This will work for the recent versions of FreeBSD (you didn't say for which version do you need it).
you need to make that script react for "start" and "stop" commands at least
You *can*, but you don't *need* to, if in a hurry :) The script will be executed once at startup, and it can parse the "start" argument given to it, but it doesn't have to.
In a proper RCNG script you don't parse stop/start, you override the stop/start functions. Parsing $1 directly is how the old-style scripts use to work, but the base system and most ports now use the RCNG framework.
Yes, it's somewhat dirty if you ignore start/stop arguments (and if you ignore them you can't rely on nice built-in features like "restart" internally executing stop, then start) but it works.
It depends, if the script is just starting a daemon then it can simply use the default start/stop handlers, and stop/start/restart works without any explicit handling.
