I've asked this before but don't remember getting a response: what
problem does the daemonctl program solve that pay for its limitations
over a regular rc.d shell script?

I'm not attacked the script; it seems to work very well.  I'm just
wondering why we can't just use a rc.d script.  I first wondered when
using the jboss port, which also uses daemonctl.  I just used a slightly
modified version of the rc.d script distributed with jboss and it seemed
to work fine.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
