I think you're missing something small, that should make the thing be

Where does it put its runtime pid???
try this one....below..
################
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -f /usr/local/bin/dynipclient ]; then
/usr/local/bin/dynipclient && echo -n ' DYNIPCLIENT'
ps -ax | grep dynip | head -1 | awk ' { print $1 } ' > /var/run/dyn=
ip.pid
fi
;;
stop)
kill `cat /var/run/dynip.pid`
;;
*)
echo "unknown option: $1 - should be 'start' or 'stop'" >&2
