I don't think you can do it like that. IIRC when you try to stop a
daemon it doesn't just kill the process by pid, it also sanity checks
the command in case the daemon has died and the pid was reused.
Since "daemon" wont show-up in the ps output it can't be in the command
variable.

I think you need to write a start function, something like this:


start_cmd="phpfastcgi_start"
command="/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"

phpfastcgi_start(){  
    echo "starting phpfastcgi."
   /usr/sbin/daemon -f -p ${pidfile} ${command}
}
