I really don't know why I should help since you guys seem
to becoming half MicroSoft and have open source in your
mentality, but just because you guys have been good in the
past, am I willing to help you fix a brain dead mistake.
You should check to see if $2 is equal to null first before
using it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

Change
===============================
        else [ "$2" != "" ]
                pid=`ps auxww | grep '[^[]'$1 | awk '{print
$2}'`
                if [ "$pid" != "" ] ; then
                        echo "$1 $2 (pid $pid) is
running..."
                        return 0
                fi
        fi
===========================

to
=========================

        elseif [ "$2" != "" ]
                pid=`ps auxww | grep '[^[]'$1 | awk '{print
$2}'`
                if [ "$pid" != "" ] ; then
                        echo "$1 $2 (pid $pid) is
running..."
                        return 0
                fi
