It's not so much where the script fails than that it fails in the
first place. Neither a pidfile nor a command_interpreter needs to be
required for an rc scripts to work. These are nice features but
making them mandatory is at best a sort of premature optimization.
It's not mandatory; you only need to define it if you want to be
able to stop an interpreted daemon using the default method.
If you have some other way of shutting down a daemon without knowing
its
name and PID then you can just supply a stop function to do it.
One easy fix would be to have stoprc first check the entire process
command and then shift it by one and check again... Then it would work
for both binaries and scripts without a special variable for scripts.
