Use variables in the daemon start scripts, like:

source /etc/sysconfig/rc source $rc_functions

NAME="" #name of the service/application PREFIX="" #path to the application APP="" #the application OPTIONS="" #parameters

case "$1" in

start)

echo "Starting $NAME..." loadproc $PREFIX/$APP $OPTIONS ;;

and so on

Hiya,

I'm in the process of rewriting some of the scripts and I found that if a user calls the killproc function the line "kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null && failure=1" doesnt change failure to 1 because kill returns 1 (bash: kill: (97) - Not owner). This means that if a user calls "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop" he always gets [ OK ] even though the program is still running.

I haven't done the variables yet, carrying that over to 1.10
