Have a line in sh script starting service from rc.d

start-stop-daemon --quiet --start --background --chuid "$USER" --exec /usr/local/bin/env -- $ARGS RETVAL=$?

it returns

/etc/rc.d/spat: start-stop-daemon: not found
/etc/rc.d/spat: --exec: not found

There is no start-stop-daemon ?

    FreeBSD has daemon(8) utility which provides subset of start-stop-daemon functionality.

No, FreeBSD uses different kind of system. Just open up any other /etc/rc.d script to your favourite text editor and see examples from there.

Check not only /etc/rc.d where system daemons scripts lives but also /usr/local/etc/rc.d where scripts for additional daemons like mysql or apache and such lives. They are rc shell scripts and, as usual, they have useful hints inside - how to make them startable when system starts, how to setup additional params and many other funny stuff.
