Hello my friend,

NetBSD and FreeBSD for the past couple years use the NetBSD rc.d system.

Have a look at

Yes, you can still use the old BSD style, but the new system makes it
easier to manage services. The old rc style is available on OpenBSD,
FreeBSD 4.x and now-dead BSD/OS.

I have used the new NetBSD rc.dt for a couple years on several of my Linux
systems too. Here is my wife's computer:

$ uname -s -r
Linux 2.6.9
$ ls  /etc/rc.d
DAEMON      cupsd  localnetwork    mountcritremote  slpd    sysctl
LOGIN       dmesg  modutils        network          slurpd  syslogd
NETWORKING  fsck   motd            quota            sshd    ttys
SERVERS     kdm    mountall        root             swap1   xdm
apache      klogd  mountcritlocal  slapd            swap2
$ /etc/rc.d/sshd status
sshd is running as pid 15840.
$ /etc/rc.d/xdm
Usage: /etc/rc.d/xdm [fast|force](start stop restart rcvar reload status poll)
