Is it executable? chmod +x /etc/rc.d/shlight.sh

PS. although in this case it won't hurt, there's a move to write
/etc/rc.d scripts that understand the parameters "start" and "stop",
so trivially you might want:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
'start')
/usr/local/sbin/shlight etc.
;;
'stop')
# Trivial (you may be able to produce something less
# hamfisted than this) stop script:
/usr/bin/killall shlight
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
