Thanks for your email. I have set execute bit and change the script to:
name=3D"runtest"
pidfile=3D"/var/run/${name}.pid"
rcvar=3D`set_rcvar`
start_cmd=3Druntest_start
command=3D"/etc/runtest"
command_interpreter=3Dwhile
load_rc_config $name
runtest_enable=3D${runtest_enable-:NO}
runtest_start() {
$command &
echo $! > ${pidfile}
}
I get no error when I start this script but still when I am trying to
stop the daemon I am getting the following error:
runtest not running? (check /var/run/runtest.pid).
(pidfile contains a correct process ID)

You need to write a runtest_start() that runs the command and immediatly
create the PID file. Note that for ${command} to work at all it must be
an absolute path to something with the execute bit set.
