here you tell it to run it as www:
> daemon_flags="--name netbox --pid /var/run/netbox.pid --user=www --group=www
> --config=${_BASEDIR}/gunicorn.py"
> daemon_flags="${daemon_flags} --log-level=info --log-file=- netbox.wsgi"
but you start as _netbox:
> daemon_user="_netbox"
that won't work, it needs root to change uid (to www).
> pexp="${_BASEDIR}/env/bin/python3.10 ${daemon}${daemon_flags:+
> ${daemon_flags}}"
> echo "pkill -f ${daemon}"

this doesn't make a lot of sense, why not either start it from the
rc script itself, or save a separate script to disk, rather than
writing to /var/run?
also if you run commands from the venv bin directory, they set
things up for you so you don't need to source "activate".

if pexp was set correctly then you wouldn't need to override rc_stop.

must be something in gunicorn or netbox.

in that case, it starts as root, so it can write there (at least until
it drops privs).

I didn't check carefully but I guess pexp doesn't match this process,
so rc_check doesn't find it running.
You could try
pexp="/var/www/htdocs/applications/netbox-4.0.7/env/bin/python
/var/www/htdocs/applications/netbox-4.0.7/env/bin/gunicorn --name netbox.*"
