Summary

The reason for emphasizing the file naming convention is at

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2024-July/006342.html

Short:

  • the filename shall be the same as the content of the name variable inside the script
  • PROVIDE shall be the same as the content of the name variable inside the script
  • this fixes the use of the scripts with service jails

While I'm here, add a section about how to create a rc script which does instancing of services.
