Subject:   New port startup script fails

I'm working on a new port, and I decided to use the new rc.subr type 
startup script.  After I wrote the script, I started testing it.  The 
program started fine, but neither stop nor status worked.  I read man (8) 
rc.subr and studied the script (/etc/rc.subr).

The program was creating a pid file with the correct name in /var/run, but 
for some reason, the stop and status commands apparently couldn't find? 
read? the file.  Is there a way to troubleshoot this problem to pin down 
exactly were the problem is?
