You at least need a stop and start function for it to work. You should
also try using the daemon function as well. To troubleshoot your
script interactively, what I do, as root, is,
$ cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
$ . ./functions
$ daemon whatever
If that doesn’t work because it can’t find the program, check your
$PATH. Adjust.
If everything is working right, then that will start the daemon. Use
killall to kill it. If that works, then try placing those commands in
the script and test that. You should make any adjustments to your $PATH
definition there if necessary.
