The rcscript is a /bin/sh script first, so all of Miroslav's replies are
written in man sh.
However, the following differences

are only mentioned in manpage

So we would have to read it in depth to realize why. :)
Any missing variables can be made up in the script.
: ${pidfile=${dummy_pidfile-/var/run/dummy.pid}}
if [ -z "${pidfile}" ] ; then
pidfile='/var/run/dummy.pid'
fi
p.s.
I made a mistake in the address of the email, so I will send it again.
I'm sorry to those who received a duplicate. :)
