[aaron@monkey
 ~]$ sudo ./ndt.init stop
./ndt.init: line 60: log_daemon_msg: command not found
./ndt.init: line 61: start-stop-daemon: command not found
./ndt.init: line 66: log_end_msg: command not found
./ndt.init: line 69: log_daemon_msg: command not found
./ndt.init: line 70: start-stop-daemon: command not found
./ndt.init: line 75: log_end_msg: command not found
