Thank you. I found the cause of the problem: the daemon changed its process name after start so the value in /var/run/rc.d file was wrong. That is why the stop script didn't work (actually it appeared that start script was working correctly). I set up correct pexp value and everything worked fine.
Let us consider this as solved. Sorry for bothering.
