How to determine what commands a FreeBSD rc script runs

I'm having problems starting a service managed by rc. I can't see anything in /var/log that looks relevant, so I'd like to try running the command manually.
I know I can read through the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, but it does enough magic that I'd probably miss something. Is there a flag or command that will show what an rc script would do without actually doing it?

What command is it? What script is failing? RC scripts are, in reality, typically just wrappers ...

I ended up manually reading through the script. I asked for a general solution so I'd know what to do in the future for other services.
