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)
