[Help-gnu-radius] Starting radius automatically

[List User]

I have a very strange problem.
If I put radiusd start command to rc.local it starts fine upon system startup

However if I put a startup script to the etc/rc.d/init.d it DOES NOT start. 
There are many other start up scripts in this directory and they all start 
fine. 
When I start scripts like this, it works fine:
Prompt: etc/rc.d/init.d/radiusd start

Is this something specific about radius?
Start up script is attached.
