GNU 1.6.3

I've attached a copy of the daemon restart script

My thoughts were that this daemon restart script does fork into the 
background but part of the init script writes to the terminal's Standard 
Out, and it might not want to close this.   I've tried getting rid of 
anything that might actually send output or input to the terminal 

I have the identical problem with this daemon and the snmpd daemon.

On a solaris 7 host running 1.6.3 I get a segfault when I try send 
signal=term or signal=kill to a different daemon, but that's another issue 
entirely.   I've had no luck controlling daemon's with cfengine yet...

I'll look it over some more, but I don't think the netsaint daemon will 
actually handle signals.   


Thank you for your assistance.
