I don't know anything about the *BSD init system, but for Debian,
Duncan has provided this init script (it works too):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#! /bin/sh
# Spamd init script
# November 2001
# Duncan Findlay
# Based on skeleton by Miquel van Smoorenburg and Ian Murdock
# Please do not name this script /etc/init.d/spamd. It may cause problems.
# If start-stop-daemon complains about needing one of --exec, --pidfile or
# --user, upgrade dpkg.
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/bin/spamd
PNAME=spamd
NAME=spamd
SNAME=spamassassin
DESC="SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon"
# Note: these are overridden by /etc/default/spamassassin
ENABLED=0
OPTIONS=""
test -f /etc/default/spamassassin && . /etc/default/spamassassin
test "$ENABLED" != "0" || exit 0
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --name $PNAME \
--oknodo --startas $DAEMON -- -d $OPTIONS
echo "$NAME."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --name $PNAME
echo "$NAME."
;;
restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --name $PNAME --oknodo
sleep 1
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --name $PNAME \
--oknodo --startas $DAEMON -- -d $OPTIONS
echo "$NAME."
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$SNAME
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The crucial aspect of this is the 'start-stop-daemon' utility. On my
system it is located in /sbin and is part of the 'dpkg' package and
the manpage says it was written by Marek Michalkiewicz and Ian
Jackson. This may not help you at all, but if you check out the
source for start-stop-daemon you may get a hint.
