I have a script file, i want that script to be executed on system startup.

I am doing this on Linux in following two steps : -

1. Copying the script to /etc/rc.d directory. 2. /sbin/chkconfig --add "scriptname"

I want to achieve the same on FreeBSD

chckconfig file is not present, documentation says i have to add it to rc.conf file.

you have to

1) make your own service started in /etc/rc.d (look at others for example)

2) simply add what's needed to rc.local

No, don't add anything to rc.local.

Putting the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and making it executable is all you want to do.

In the script it should check for being passed a 'start' or a 'stop'. If you want to pass it other information or conditions, you may also want to make it to check for an environment variable which you can set in rc.conf and have your script read up (source) rc.conf.
